Holding On Lyrics - The War On Drugs

Once I was alive and I could feel 

I was holding on to you 

And I redefined the way I looked at dawn inside of you 

I went down a crooked highway 

I went all outside the line 

I've been rejected, now the light has turned and I'm out of time 

[Chorus 1] 

Ain't no way I'm gonna last 

Hiding in the seams, I can't move the past 

Feel like I'm about to crash 

Riding on my line, keep keeping on 

[Verse 2] 

Once we were apart and I could see red 

Never trying to turn back time 

Never meant to bring my pain to the front and into your life 

Now I'm headed down a different road 

Can we walk it side by side? 

Is an old memory just another way of saying goodbye? 

[Chorus 2] 

Ain't no way I'm gonna last 

Hiding in the seams, I can't move the past 

Feel like I'm about to crash 

Riding the same line, I keep keeping on 

[Bridge] 

I ain't never going to change 

He'll never get in line 

I keep moving on the path, yeah 

Holding on to mine 

When you talk about the past 

What are we talking of? 

Did I let go too fast? 

Was I holding on too long? 

Ain't no truths from the past 

As silent as the sea 

Am I holding on too long? 

But you're right in front of me 

And I'm moving on a cast 

Shadows on my seam 

I keep moving to changes, yeah 

Ooh 

[Outro] 

Heart or hope 

Heart or hope 

Heart or hope 

Heart or hope
