Hanging On

Harem Scarem · Human Nature [2007]

If you go, if you'll stay

Has become a mystery

Have you found what you need?

What's the voice inside your head saying



I don't know what your thinking or what's up or down

The highs and lows tend to shake me off solid ground



I'm hanging on to promises never meant for me

I want to hold you, hold you to your word

I'm hanging on to promises never meant for me

I want to hold you, hold you to your word



Empty vows, empty dreams

Somehow ignored so faithfully

How do we know where we stand?

Can't leave it all to circumstance



I don't know what your thinking or what's up or down

The highs and lows tend to shake me off solid ground



I'm hanging on to promises never meant for me

I want to hold you, hold you to your word

I'm hanging on to promises never meant for me

I want to hold you, hold you to your word



I haven't felt it in a long time

I invented it in my mind

Ooh, it's blind leading the blind

In this storm till every hope is gone



'Cause I want to hold you, hold you to your word



I'm hanging on to promises never meant for me

I want to hold you, hold you to your word

I'm hanging on to promises never meant for me

I want to hold you, hold you to your word, to your word...



I'm hanging on to promises never meant for me

I want to hold you, hold you to your word, I'm hanging on...

I'm hanging on to promises never meant for me

I want to hold you, hold you to your word
