“It’s about going out on the lash back home which was really just a form of escape. This is going to be the last tune we put out there of the ‘Hypersonic Missiles’ era. I hope you like it as much as I do.”
–Sam Fender VIA NME
“Hold Out” is Fender’s first single of 2020. It was released on Youtube...
[Verse 1]
Cab lines fill up with hot headed hard boys
Capering from the stand
Shivering lovers sharing coats and one liners
Awaiting the late night dance
Friday hyenas laughing and wheezing
Smoking the cheapest brand
Still off my feet, I'll be numbing the feeling
Till I know how to safely land
[Chorus]
The night is so long
I know that you hear me
Honey, I can't hold out
The night is so long
I know that you hear me
Honey, I can't hold out
[Verse 2]
Usual suspects cutting dirt for their trouble
See them painting the old town red
This misadventure temporarily helps
Until I'm lying awake in bed
[Chorus]
The night is so long
I know that you hear me
Honey, I can't hold out
The night is so long
I know that you hear me
Honey, I can't, can't, can't hold out
[Break]
The night
[Chorus]
The night is so long
I know that you hear me
Honey, I can't hold out
The night is so long
I know that you hear me
Honey, I can't, can't, can't, can't, can't hold out
