From the recording A More Perfect World
Lyrics
HOLD ON<br />
<br />
Time after time, feels like I’m fading away -- <br />
stopped on a dime, staring into space<br />
And clarity comes, and clarity goes, <br />
but for all these epiphanies, <br />
I’m still lost...Holding the roses<br />
<br />
At the start of your life, are you given a golden key -- <br />
to personalize, so carefully <br />
And slowly you groove it, make it your own, <br />
and when you find where it fits well, swing it wide<br />
And follow him home. . .examine his soul<br />
<br />
And if the moment hums with something deep and low<br />
HOLD ON, HOLD ON<br />
And if your timing comes like you’re a single soul<br />
HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON...<br />
<br />
I know it’s hard, yeah, you’ve got a complicated scene, <br />
They tell you listen to your heart, yeah, whatever the hell that means<br />
And whisper they may, but they will anyway, <br />
And it’s you who’ll be living each minute in between<br />
<br />
Chorus<br />
<br />
Confessions and awakenings, streetcorner serenades--<br />
and midnight trains<br />
Truthful fiction at the heart of things -- <br />
Believing in the game<br />
<br />
Time after time, feels like I’m fading away<br />
Stopped on a dime, staring into space<br />
And clarity comes, and clarity goes<br />
But for all these epiphanies, I’m still lost<br />
Holding the roses, holding the roses, holding the roses<br />
<br />
