Showdown Lyrics by Paula Kelley

Nothing / Everything

2001

[Verse 1]
Hold together for the year
Hold together for the year
'Cause I can't tell what you're thinkin'
And it's moving way too slow
And I didn't even think to say hello

[Verse 2]
Hold together for the year
Hold together for the year
'Cause I'm feeling like I'm sinkin'
And it started long ago
And the only words I hear are, "Way to go"

[Verse 3]
Last night I felt so foolish talkin' 'bout things I know (talking 'bout things I know)
A gross majority were wasting my room to grow
How does it feel to have your pretty boy hung up tonight?
Now I'm everything, I swear that this one's right

[Verse 4]
Last night I felt so shattered, frustrated and alone (frustrated and alone)
If I could find a place, I'd drop to my knees and go
These petty amateurs have worn out their welcome and [?]

[Bridge]
But every move I make is like
A testament to taking this way down to the final picture show
And I can't tell what you're thinkin', though I'm feeling like I know
And the only words I hear are, "Way to go"

[Outro]
Hold together for the year
Hold together for the year
For the year, for the year
(For the year)
