(Craig Doerge & Jackson Browne)
|
Hold on hold out, keep a hold on strong
|
The money's in and the bets are down
|
You won't hold out long
|
They say you'll fall in no time at all
|
But you know they're wrong
|
Known it all along
|
|
Hold on hold out, keep a hold on still
|
If you don't see what your love is worth
|
No one ever will
|
You've done your time on the bottom line
|
And it ain't no thrill
|
There's got to be something more
|
Keep a hold on still
|
You know what it is you're waiting for
|
Now you just hold on
|
Hold on hold out, hold on
|
|
Give up your heart and you lose your way
|
Trusting another to feel that way
|
Give up your heart and you find yourself
|
Living for something in somebody else
|
Sometimes you wonder what happens to love
|
Sometimes the touch of a friend is enough
|
|
Hold a place for the human race
|
Keep it open wide
|
Give it time to fall or climb
|
But let the time decide
|
Sometimes you wonder what's in this for you
|
But you wait, and you see
|
'Cause it's all you can do
|
Just to hold on
|
Hold on hold out, hold on
|
|
For the countless souls beaten by their goals
|
Keep a hold on now
|
And the ones betrayed by the deals they made
|
Keep a hold on
|
If you hold your ground it'll turn around
|
Keep a hold somehow
|
|
Hold on hold out, keep a hold on tight
|
Tonights the night
|
Wake up and turn on the light
|
You fight, and you're right...
|
It's gonna take all your might...
|
|
You're a hold out
|
Well I'm a hold out too
|
But it took me all this time to figure out
|
Something you already knew
|
Will love be true? Can it pull you through?
|
How long? How strong?
|
Somethings depend on you
|
See... I always figured I was going to meet somebody here
|
and I don't know why
|
Why should love come down and suddenly just sweep me away
|
I want to fly
|
But there are so many things in my way
|
|
Anyway...
|
I guess you wouldn't know unless I told you
|
But...
|
I love you
|
Well just look at yourself...
|
What else would I do?
|
|
Hold on...
