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
