Hold On To You Songtext / Lyric

Take the forward path

Have a big slice of the city

Get the upper hand

While you're still pretty



But you know what we're like

No, they will never respect you

The way you want them to respect you

I think it's very well understood



But I'm

I'm gonna hold on to you

I'm gonna hold on to you

You



Your cracked up shell

A dead opera house

You give yourself to them now

In a game of cat and mouse






From the storyboard

To the bedroom scene

Through eleven World Wars

Other people you have been



Well I'm

Gonna hold on to you

I'm gonna hold on to you

You



Oh I'm

Gonna hold on to you

I'm gonna hold on to you

You



I can come to terms

With slowly going mad

Things we used to fear in the dark

And what ever lies beyond that



But I've come to resemble

My own shadow

As it falls into the sidewalk

I'm no longer anyone I know



No-one here reminds me of you

Yet I see no-one else

On the crowded sidewalk



Well I'm

I'm gonna hold on to you

I'm gonna hold on to you

You



Oh I'm

I'm gonna hold on to you

I'm gonna hold on to you

Hold on to you

Hold on to you

I'm gonna hold on to you
