Holding On

[Verse One]
Set sail in an empty bottle
Glass walls in a sudden storm
No sign of the sweet salvation I’m praying for

{Chorus One]
And I know by now
There’s nothing I can do
Still I can’t help
Holding on to you

[Verse Two]
My hands hold a hundred heartbreaks
We stand on the castle walls
Still dream of the ocean parting
Before it falls

[Chorus Two]
And I know by now
There’s things we’re bound to lose
Still I can’t help
Holding on to you

[Verse Three]
I had a touch
I had a taste
It was just enough
To keep me waiting
To feel your love
I’d take the pain
I won’t give it up
Even as it fades away

[Chorus One]
And I know by now
There’s nothing I can do
Still I can’t help
Holding on to you

[Verse Four]
Your eyes they were full of wonder
We stood with your hands in mine
That moment it pulls me under
Every time

[Chorus One]
And I know by now
There’s nothing I can do
Still I can’t help
Holding on to you

[Post-Chorus]
Come read me a bedtime story
Maybe I can fall asleep
My dreams are the territory I can keep

[Outro x2]
Days fall like grains of sand but I keep
Holding on to you
Memories slip through my hands but I keep
Holding on to you
Holding on to you
