Hold On

It was another life in another world and a lovely girl was holding on to your hand
And on that crowded street we stood lit by neon and gold
And all these streets are old and all these stories been told
But if you listen close you can hear the pulse and learn
To let go

Do you hear that battered beat
On a well worn street, in your footsteps as you're walking
All the bricks been chipped, the signs all fade
And distant engines sound like drums
Is it enough to make your heart skip the beat
Did you check your pulse just like me
Did you squeeze my hand, when you remembered to breathe

Does anybody know? now
Can anybody see, how
Our hearts just don't grow out of our loves
And time does not lie
This pace, the race
The memories of this place
Will never just fade away, so hold on

And there we sat on that second street
You right next to me, so close that i can barely breathe
And I looked in disbelief of you
And the way your light shines through
And with one big beat
That moment was saved

It was another life in another world and a lovely girl was holding on to your hand
And on that crowded street we stood lit by neon and gold
Does anybody know? now
Can anybody see how
Our hearts just don't grow out of our loves
And time does not lie
This place, the race
The memories of your face
Will never just fade away, so hold on
