David Gray Lyrics
"Holding On"

Baby now don't look back
Don't let those feelings start
Don't let the line go slack
When you're pulling it all apart
How to describe the sky
Or dismantle a beating heart

Guess we're just holding on
Baby we're holding on
Honey we're holding on
To the world

Seeking assurances
Some kind of guarantee
There has to be more than this, oh now
More than the eye can see
Holding the lanterns high
While we sink with our vanity

Guess we're just holding on
Baby we're holding on
Honey we're holding on
To the world

Here we are holding on
Baby we're holding on
Honey we're holding on
To the world

Now I'm gonna love you
Like the spring bursts from the ground
Unfurling from the ground
Unfurling from the ground

Faces of buildings, trees
All that is stone, inert
Here in these empty streets
Well it silently does assert
That we are just passing ghosts, honey
Vapors of joy and hurt

And here we are holding on
Baby we're holding on
Honey we're holding on
To the world
Baby we're holding on
Oh yeah we're holding on
Hey now we're holding on
Baby we're holding on
Here we are holding on
Baby we're holding on
Guess we're just holding on
To the world
Baby we're holding on
To the world
