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



Guess we're just holding on

Baby we're holding on

Honey 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



Guess we're just holding on

Baby we're holding on

Honey we're holding on

To the world



Here we are holding on

Baby we're holding on

Honey 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

Vapors of joy and hurt



And here we are holding on

Baby we're holding on

Honey we're holding on

To the world

Baby we're holding on

Oh yeah we're holding on

Hey now we're holding on

Baby we're holding on

Here we are holding on

Baby we're holding on

Guess we're just holding on

To the world

Baby we're holding on

To the world
