Hold On by Corey Fox-Fardell Lyrics

He's way out in Tennessee while his baby's back at home
Hitting downtown Nashville, make his way back all alone
With black ‘X's on both hands and he is moving the floor
The boy's only 18 years old, how was he to know?
When the cops showed up and they took him away
He's heading Baymont solo, what a way to end the day
So he stares at the ceiling and pictures the sky
And wonders if she'll still be up this time of night

Hold On. Hold On. To the love that once was in your heart
Hold On. Hold On. But holding on was never enough for us

All she wants is to dance and live her life out as the dream
Take the final bow each night, close her eyes and fall asleep
But real life keeps on pulling and reality is working
Up at 4am isn't where she wants to be
I don't know how much longer I can wait and keep this up
Those were the final words she said before the payphone cut off
She makes coffee for a living, he sings songs on a stage
Maybe they're after different things and should go their separate ways
Hold On. Hold On. To the love that once was in your heart
Hold On. Hold On. But holding on was never enough for us
Hold On. Hold On. To the love that once was in your heart
Hold On. Hold On. But holding on was never enough for us

Now he's back in London, hoping she's home
But boy was he so wrong, 'cause she's long gone
