“Holding On” is the first track from English singer- songwriter Ella Hunt’s debut EP Triptych. Lyrically, it speaks of love that is waning and Hunt asks if they’re still [holding on] to their love.
[Intro]
One of us is always leaving
Shall I stay or shall I go?
I feel as if I'm always grieving
For a love that feels like home
[Verse]
You can tremble at the break of it
While you hold me in your power
But from this far I feel the fake of it
Getting less and less true by the hour
And I can tell by the cracks in your voice
White cliffs to fall down into white noise
And silence is the other in our sheets
Break it with your body, but you know what it means
Break it with your body, but you know what it means
[Chorus]
We can kiss the past away
Blink and it's gone
But is this still true today
Or are we just holding on?
We can kiss the past away
Blink and it's gonе
But is this still true today or are we just
Holding on?
Holding on?
[Bridge]
I'm borеd of "I love you"s
Bored of "goodbye"s
Bored of bad connection
And petty white lies
I'm bored of calling you at 3:00 a.m. your time
I'm bored of "I love you"s
Bored of "goodbye"s
Bored of bad connection
And petty white lies
I'm bored of calling you at 3:00 a.m. your time
[Outro]
Cooey, it's me, how have you been?
(It's me, how have you been?)
Conversations about our days are the most boring
(Kind of hard to explain over the phone)
I just sit and listen to you breathe
(S-sorry, I said "I miss you")
Silence is more comforting to me
Silence is more comforting to me
