Hold On
Well we tried real hard to make this right
We were living on eggshells 'til our next fight
We were 17, yeah we were the next big thing
I was a 5 star QB for the high school team
You wore my letterman jacket
And my old blue jeans
You had a homecoming crown
Yeah we were the talk of the town
But no one really knew the real you and me
'Cos we let them all see
What they wanted to be
So we tried to hold on
Tried to hold on
Put out a smile and tried to stay strong
Put your arm around me
Let 'em all see
How good it feels to be you and me
But we didn't have the heart
To tell them that we got it all wrong
But we sure tried hard to hold on
Well we left for colleague
We were miles apart
We took the county lines
And we never looked back
We were turning 19
Building us a life of dreams
I tried drinking with the boys
Every Friday night
But something was missing
Something ain't right
I don't know what to do
When I started missing you
And it made we wonder
If I did the right thing
When I threw away the box
That held that ring now
Had to hold on
Had to hold on
Put out a smile and try to stay strong
You put your arms around me
Let them all see
How good it feels to be you and me
Looking back now girl
I guess I got it all wrong
All I had to do was hold on
And I could take you dancing
Saturday night
Onto a downtown dance floor
With neon lights
Put my hands on your hips
Cos we know that's where they belong
All I had to do was hold on
Had to hold on
Put on a smile and try to stay strong
Put your arms around me
Let 'em all see
How good it feels to be you and me
Had to hold on
Had to hold on
Put out a smile
And try to stay strong
Put your arm around me
Let 'em all see
How good it feels
To be you and me
Looking back now girl
I guess I got it all wrong
All I had to do was hold on
All I had to do was hold on
All I had to do was hold on
All I had to do was hold on
We were living on eggshells 'til our next fight
We were 17, yeah we were the next big thing
I was a 5 star QB for the high school team
You wore my letterman jacket
And my old blue jeans
You had a homecoming crown
Yeah we were the talk of the town
But no one really knew the real you and me
'Cos we let them all see
What they wanted to be
So we tried to hold on
Tried to hold on
Put out a smile and tried to stay strong
Put your arm around me
Let 'em all see
How good it feels to be you and me
But we didn't have the heart
To tell them that we got it all wrong

How good it feels to be you and me
Had to hold on
Had to hold on
Put out a smile
And try to stay strong
Put your arm around me
Let 'em all see
How good it feels
To be you and me
Looking back now girl
I guess I got it all wrong
All I had to do was hold on
All I had to do was hold on
All I had to do was hold on
All I had to do was hold on
