Holding On

Baby now don’t look back

Don’t let those feelings start

Don’t let the line go slack, when you’re

Pulling it all apart

How to describe the sky

Or dismantle a beating heart

Baby we’re holding on

Here we are holding on

Baby we’re holding on

To the world

Seeking assurances

Some kind of guarantee

There has to be more than this, oh now

More than the eye can see

Holding the lanterns high, while we

Sink with our vanity

Here we are holding on

Guess we’re just holding on

Baby we’re holding on

To the world

Now I’m gonna love you

Like the spring bursts from the ground

Unfurling from the ground

Unfurling from the ground

Faces of buildings, trees

All that is stone, inert

Here in these empty streets, well it

Silently does assert

That we are just passing ghosts, honey

Vapours of joy and hurt

And here we are holding on

Baby we’re holding on

Yes we’re just holding on

To the world

Here we are holding on

Baby we’re holding on

Here we are holding on

Yes we’re just holding on

Here we are holding on

Baby we’re holding on

Guess we’re just holding on to the world.
