[Verse 1]
Hang on to the night
Watching each day pass you
Hang on to your hope
Like the future's gonna break through
Hang on to yourself
Lovers leaving and regret you
Hang on to you heart
'til you know they respect you
[Chorus]
Hang in tonight, hang in tonight
I dunno why I sweat this
Hang in tonight, hang in tonight
But I can't get past it
Hang in tonight, hang in tonight
I just felt so helpless
Hang in tonight, hang in tonight
And I just can't shake it
[Verse 2]
Hang on to the night
Soon your mind is gonna lose you
Hang on to your hope
You have so much you gotta get through
Hang on to yourself
No good'll come from being untrue
Hang on to your heart
Loss is pain but it can save you
[Chorus]
Hang in tonight, hang in tonight
I dunno why I sweat this
Hang in tonight, hang in tonight
But I can't get past it
Hang in tonight, hang in tonight
I just felt so helpless
Hang in tonight, hang in tonight
And I just can't shake it
[Bridge]
Every time you take
Take me home
I fall down on the floor
I can't take anymore
Every time you pick
You pick me up
You tell me this is what love
What our love is for
[Chorus]
Hang in tonight, hang in tonight
I dunno why I sweat this
Hang in tonight, hang in tonight
But I can't get past it
Hang in tonight, hang in tonight
I just felt so helpless
Hang in tonight, hang in tonight
And I just can't shake it
