Hold some space for me mama in your head
Hold some space for me mama in your bed
I am yearning, and I've got a space to fill
I am yearning to give you some time to kill
A god-shaped hole in my soul
God-shaped hole in my soul
Hold space for me. Hold space for me
Strip me of my leaves and see what's real
Hold space for me
Put in the hours. I'm more than just a flower on your shelf
Believe in me. Believe me. Leave me. Leave
I wrote a letter to your heart, but your mind replied
Words rushed out like a river
Can't keep those thoughts inside
You just kept on running and running with no time to stop
Now I don't want to slow you down, but my mental pictures starting to rot
Hold space for me. Hold space for me
Strip me of my leaves and see what's real
Hold space for me
Put in the hours. I'm more than just a flower on your shelf
Believe in me. Believe me. Leave me. Leave
