[Verse 1]
You're reading Jane Austin
Getting lost in her ways
Of making you lonely and wishing for fate to come knocking on your door
Wash up on your shore
Only 13, and your imagining
What it's like to be married
[Verse 2]
All of the boys who go to your school
You think that they think that you aren't that cool
But cool is a liar, I'm calling it's bluff
You're pretty and smart and that is enough
[Chorus]
Josie hold on
Hold on to the feeling of feeling so young
Someone's gonna come along
Tell me you'll hold out for the someone you love
Once you've tasted his lips
You can't act like
You never been kissed
[Verse 3]
You like when they're nice
Cause It's nice to be liked
But charm can wear off quick as day becomes night
Maybe daddy was right
That all boys just want one thing
He’ll show you in time
If his words just mean nothing
[Chorus]
So Josie hold on
Hold on to the feeling of feeling so young
Someone's gonna come along
Tell me you'll hold out for the someone you love
Once you've tasted his lips
You can't act like
You never been kissed
[Bridge]
Save yourself the heartache
Don't you know it's worth the wait?
Cause no one can fix what he might break
[Chorus]
Josie hold on
Hold on to the feeling of feeling so young
Someone's gonna come along
Tell me you'll hold out for the someone you love
Once you've tasted his lips
You can't act like
You never been kissed

This song was a letter to my cousin when she was about 13. She’s so smart, but was having a hard time just fitting in, dying to be liked, let alone loved. I didn’t know how to talk to her, so I wrote this song. It ended up being much bigger than just her. Now, it’s a message to all young people, esp...
