Holding It Back (feat. Kimbra) Lyrics


I be holding it back
But it's feeling like a heart attack
This is big as a heart can get
Can you give it to me before I die, girl?
I'm jonesin'foreal
You know my hands can't seem to sit still
I take your cup and fill to the rim
Up until dawn, and I'm still drinkin'Can this be, I'm so high
Carry me, til the light
Spend some time, make me moan
Take me down, sweet and lowAnd we're coming, and we're going
And we don't know which way is up
And we don't know which way is down
We just flowin', and we're coolin'
And we're lovin' stripped down
Just lovin', stripped down
And I never felt this way beforeI find myself looking up at the night
I swear these stars be looking like you

I meant to say just tryin' to get over the night
You said you couldn't stay and gave me the blues, baby
We got nothin' to lose, I will always be here for you
Girl if you're with it, I'll be down more than you know
If you saw me, God give me a clue, babyCan this be, I'm so high
Carry me, til the light
Spend some time, I'll let go
Take me down, sweet and lowAnd we're coming, and we're going
And we don't know which way is up
And we don't know which way is down
We just flowin', and we're coolin'
And we're lovin' stripped down
Just lovin', stripped down
And I never felt this way beforeAnd we're coming, and we're going
Which way is up
And we don't know which way is down
We just flowin'
And we're lovin' stripped down
Just lovin', stripped down
Down

Bilal (born Bilal Sayeed Oliver on August 23, 1979, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA) is a soul musician and member of the musical collective known as Soulquarians. In 2001, his debut album — 1st Born Second — was released on the Interscope record label.

Bilal's classical training at the Mannes Music Conservatory in New York was instrumental to his conversance with Jazz, voice, and big band arrangements. It has also been reported that he is capable of performing opera in seven languages and writes both music and lyrics.

In 1995, Bilal encountered Faulu Mtume, and his brother, Damu Mtume (sons to James Mtume and founders of Moyo Entertainment) at a barber's shop in Philadelphia. His plans to produce film scores was shelved after he handed the brothers a demo recording; they were so impressed that they successfully convinced him to record commercially.

Bilal has also frequently collaborated and performed with several neo-soul and alternative hip hop artists, including Common, Erykah Badu, Talib Kweli, and The Roots. He also covered Radiohead's "High & Dry" for the 2006 Radiohead tribute, Exit Music: Songs With Radio Heads. Bilal appears in Dave Chappelle's Block Party.

His sophomore full-length recording, Love for Sale is rumored to have been shelved after being leaked on the internet. Despite no official release as of yet, Love for Sale has become an underground classic.
