Hold On

Well it's hard to hear yourself think

Above the noise on our street

And it's hard to cool down

When your body just generates heat

And it's hard to write songs

When you feel like you can't even speak

But it ain't hard to tell you're the only thing I need

And I've been on the wrong end

Of too many a telephone call

Trying to say too much and just ending up

Saying nothing at all

'Til I'm pacing the floors

And I'm bouncing my head off the wall

And it ain't hard to tell this'll all be well in the fall

If you can just

Hold on

Hold on

Hold on with me

'Cause I can only be

So strong

For so long

Without you holding on to me

And I'm singin' yesterday's songs

Wishin' I could be with you tonight

And tomorrow my surrogate friends

Will say, "Hey man, are you alright?"

Oh, it's like everybody's eye's on the prize

But they all lost their sight

Oh, it ain't hard to tell

This is hell and it just ain't my life

And I'm tired of sleeping alone, tired of waking up here

And I'm tired of suppressing these same unexplainable fears

And I'm tired of believing I've wasted my formative years

But with a hand on your side of the bed

I remember the words that you said

Oh it ain't hard to tell whose voice is in my head

Just tellin' me

To hold on

Hold on

And you'll see

That we can be so strong

For so long

If you just keep holding on

Well, we're not there yet

But we're goin' home

But we're not there yet

So hold on
