I don't blame you
We got carried away
I can't hold on
To an empty space
Now you've found a new star to orbit
It could be love
I think you're too soon to call us old
When and where did we go cold?
I thought I had you on hold
And every time I let you leave
I always saw you coming back to me
When and where did we go cold?
I thought I had you on hold
The xx band members have referenced a long list of influences such as Yaz, Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Eurythmics, the Cure, and the Cocteau Twins, but I can't help have this particular song remind me of the Thompson Twins. In barely two weeks since release of their third studio album, the xx have already had "On Hold" reach #1 on some alternative charts, and sold out much of their tour.
