Let Me Kick Off Sunday

It’s a rarity when I beat her to the punch on things like this, but this song from the eighties brought back an absolute torrent of memories. It’s not one that is missed. On the contrary, many people have heard it, and are probably still wondering who does it.

The band is Survivor, and the song is a song that reflects the attitude of my life. "I Can’t Hold Back". And I can’t not in this day and age when our backs are being pushed closer to that wall. WE can’t afford to hold back. Not in life, not in love, and not in anything. Now is the time to live. Now is the time to move. We do so together, or not at all.


There's a story in my eyes
Turn the pages of desire
Now it's time to trade those dreams
For the rush of passion's fire

I can feel you tremble when we touch
And I feel the hand of fate
Reaching out to both of us
I've been holding back the night
I've been searching for a clue from you
I'm gonna try with all my might
To make the storyline come true

Can you feel me tremble when we touch
Can you feel the hand of fate
Reaching out to both of us
This love affair can't wait
I can't hold back
I'm on the edge
(I can't hold back)
Your voice explodes inside my head
I can't hold back
I won't back down
Girl, it's too late to turn back now

Another shooting star goes by
And in the night the silence
Speaks to you and I
And now the time has come at last
Don't let the moment run too fast

I can feel you tremble when we touch
And I feel the hand of fate
Reaching out to both of us
And there's a story in my eyes
Turn the pages of desire
Now it's time to trade those dreams
For the rush of passion's fire
I can't hold back
I'm on the edge
(I can't hold back)
Your voice explodes inside my head
I can't hold back
I won't back down
Girl, it's too late to turn back now

I can see you tremble when we touch
Ooooh, and I feel the hand of fate
Reaching out to both of us
This love affair can't wait

I can't hold back
I can't hold back
I can't hold back
