“This is the third and final single from my debut EP, and I think it might be my favourite. While my previous song, ‘I Wanna Be Myself or Nothing At All’ was about my raw experience of coming out – ‘Holding The Man’ is about the feeling.

Can something really be a lie, if you don't get caught?
Like, do things get easy when you live like you're everything you're not?
I'll get married when I'm thirty – maybe even thirty-two
Get my own place, have a kid or two
Picket fence, swimming pool
Baby, I'm the man
Now, I'm looking in the mirror – I'm exactly like my dad
Oh, please just hold me down
So my feet don't leave the ground
Please just hold me down
So my feet don't leave thе ground
I came out in my best friend's car
Now I'm wеightless – lifting off the ground
I never thought that it would change shit
Tell you things before I even tell myself
My life has been a lie (and right before I end it)
Everything I wish I told you all comes out
You've never known as much about me as you do right now
Everything I wish I told you all comes out
You've never known as much about me as you do right now
Could you stand here and hold me down?

(Could you stand here and hold me?)
So my feet don't leave the ground
(Could you stand here and hold me?)
Please just hold me down
(Could you stand here and hold me?)
So my feet don't leave the ground
(Could you stand here and hold me?)
Everything I wish I told you all comes out
You've never known as much about me as you do right now
Everything I wish I told you all comes out
You've never known as much about me as you do right now
