Hold On (Softest Part)

Intro

Oh-oh-oh

Mm

Oh-oh-oh

Verse 1

Midnight on the avenue

Streetlights paint the rain in blue

I saw your ghost in a window pane

Half a memory half a name

The city hums a hollow tune

Underneath a borrowed moon

Pre-Chorus

And I wonder

Do you wander

Through the quiet

Through the thunder

Chorus

Hold on to the softest part of me

Hold on while the world falls out of key

We were rivers running to the sea

Hold on

Hold on

Hook

Mm-mm

Hold on

Mm-mm

Verse 2

The record store still plays our song

I hum along but get it wrong

The static in the speaker's old

The story's written and it's told

Your jacket hangs behind the door

I swear it's warmer than before

Pre-Chorus

And I wonder

Do you wander

Past the neon

To the yonder

Chorus

Hold on to the softest part of me

Hold on while the world falls out of key

We were rivers running to the sea

Hold on

Hold on

Drop

Turn it up

Turn it round

Let the low end shake the ground

Turn it up

Turn it round

Bridge

Maybe distance is a door

Maybe silence is a shore

I keep calling out your name

The echo answers just the same

One breath holds a thousand years

One whisper holds the falling tears

Chorus

Hold on to the softest part of me

Hold on while the world falls out of key

We were rivers running to the sea

Hold on

Hold on

Hook

Mm-mm

Hold on

Mm-mm

Outro

Oh-oh

The city hums

Oh-oh

A borrowed moon
