Testo 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
Tryin' to say too much and just endin' up saying nothing at all
‘Til I'm pacin' the floors and I'm bouncin’ 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 all right”
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 sleepin' alone, tired of wakin' up here
And I'm tired of suppressin' these same unexplainable fears
And I'm tired of believin' 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
