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 been on the wrong end
Of too many a telephone call
Trying to say too much
And just ending up saying nothing at all
Til I'm pacing the floors
And bouncing my head off the wall
But 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
Cuz I can only be
So strong
For so long
Without you holding on to me

And I'm singing yesterday's songs
Wishing I could be with you tonight
And tomorrow my surrogate friends
Will say hey man are you alright?
It's like everyone's eye's on the prize
But they all lost their sight
Oh it aint hard to tell
This is hell and it just ain't my life

And I'm tired of sleeping alone
Tired of waking up here
And I'm tired of repressing
These same unexplainable fears
And I'm tired of believing
I wasted my formative years
But with a hand on your side of the bed
I remember the words that you said
Oh and it aint hard to tell
Whose voice is in my head

Telling 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 going home
But we're not there yet
So hold on
