This is a song about when having sex is truly "making" love. When life surges through you with a jolt of ecstasy and your heart, mind and body are all throbbing in intimate care and appreciation then one is truly maximizing the moment.
Deep passionate love involves a lot of trust and vulnerability. Yet, most rewards come with significant risk. The closer one becomes the more devastating would be rejection and betrayal.
Hold me, I just crave our horizontal hold
It’s hard to understand how much it means to me
I need horizontal hold, I love when you
Let yourself go
Maybe one does not need passion and love to survive, but living an intimate passionate life is not about surviving but thriving and living life to its fullest.
lyrics
Horizontal Hold 7/31/86
Let’s kick back awhile, just relax
Save some energy for love attacks
Ooo now baby, my heart is on fire
My body is all a tingle, my eyes will never tire
Of the softness you unveil at every curve
Feelings are so intense all senses merge
I’m lost in the heat just drunk with fascination
Somewhere between romance and obsession
Beats the love I feel for you
It seems that I know you, oh how I know you
I’m so excited to know someone who clearly can see me
I’ve looked an awful long time and I found you
Talking is easy but to lie with someone is so pleasing
I never wanted to be on my own just me and my mind
Like the TV’s rolling pictures you found my horizontal hold
Hold me, I just crave our horizontal hold
It’s hard to understand how much it means to me
Life just flips from moment to moment
When my life is not grounded in horizontal hold
Horizontal baby, when I lose I gain control
I need horizontal hold, my heart’s on fire
My body’s hot and cold
I need horizontal hold, I love when you
Let yourself go
You know you can’t go away, you can’t really stay
I love it baby
Horizontal Hold
