Holding On

In all your dreams the world is ending
And you're the one saving us
Is that why you like me so much?
On some guardian angel stuff?

Next stop on your hero's journey: Tokyo
I picture you writing poems on a bullet train
They're not about me but you sent me a postcard

Holding you is easy
But holding on is too hard
Holding you is easy
But holding on is too hard

You say your dad loves Tom Waits
But I thought this was an Eagles song
You say "See, there's so many things we can show each other"
But I can't think of a single one
I got nothing to teach you
That you don't already know

The cover band sings to me on Bleecker Street
I'm either "standing in his shadow or I'm blocking his light"
Who is whose muse if we're both rockstars?

Holding you is easy
But holding on is too hard
Holding you is easy
But holding on's tryin' to fall back asleep
Into a dream that slipped away

Oooh
Aaah
Mmmh
Aaah - ah

You're gonna swallow me whole
After I crawl into your mouth
Then I'll expand 'til I explode
Destroy you from the inside out
How romantically morose

Holding you is easy
But holding on is too hard
Holding you is easy
But holding on is too hard
Holding you is easy but thank God it's too hard
Holding you is easy but thank God it's too hard
