hold on for you
said you look shaken
wanted something comfortable
wanted something familiar
hold on for me
just speaking's been difficult
because he's too busy trying to keep it inside
but it's all he remembers
all she wants is to get involved
with forgetting if she’s getting home
the streets and alleys are keeping her guessing
at something she’s just somehow missing
stayin later for after hours
these nights grow too long to remember
hold on for you
because you're asleep by 11:30
thought you might still want to hear from him
thought you might still want to know
hold on for me
whats the point of the memories
whats the point of the missing feelings
the wasted times that we could have had
[Lyrics from "Don't Let Me Explode" as recorded by The Hold Steady]
