[Verse 1]
Warming the rosin and pullin' it tight
Everyone knows that it's all on the line
Blood on your cheek and your hands in the dirt
They say the meek will inherit the earth
[Pre-Chorus]
Every time that we touch
I come undone
You're keeping me gold and young
You stir my soul up
[Chorus]
Hold on
Every time that you wanna give up, you're too strong
Just hold on
Hear the sound of the crowd shouting out, "Oh my God"
Just hold on
Yeah, I have been waiting to hold you for so long
Yeah, hold on
When it's over you'll know you are all that I want
[Verse 2]
I only sleep with your heart next to mine
But I can feel it's a matter of time
You feel alive, but it's never enough
You wanna die doing something you love
[Pre-Chorus]
Every time that we touch
Yeah, I come undone
You're keeping me gold and young
Stir my soul up
[Chorus]
Hold on
Every time that you wanna give up, you're too strong
Just hold on
Hear the sound of the crowd shouting out, "Oh my God"
Just hold on
Yeah, I have been waiting to hold you for so long
Yeah, hold on
When it's over you'll know you are all that I want
[Bridge]
You feel alive, but it's never enough
You wanna die doing something you love
[Chorus]
Hold on
Every time that you wanna give up, you're too strong (Hold)
Just hold on
Hear the sound of the crowd shouting out, "Oh my God"
Just hold on
I have been waiting to hold you for so long
Just hold on
When it's over you'll know you are all that I want
