Holding On
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Meet me where the ocean meets the sky
We knew it had to end, we tried to keep it going
We’re all trapped in our own lives
Our own situations have consumed us
But when I look back,
I like to think I’ve changed
The person I was will not define me
Set it off.
Cold feet, no sleep and a troubled mind
I’m days away from yesterday
Finding reasons just to reason with myself,
So I don’t feel this way anymore.
Cold feet, no sleep,
I’m alone in my head again
Finding reasons just to keep holding on
Keep holding on
Trapped under ice and I’m breaking through
Everything I’ve lost has become so clear
No, an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind
Finding reasons just to keep holding on,
Through broken promises and separate ways
There’s a part of us that stays the same,
There’s a part of you and I that will never change
