Frontman Kris Roe shared the story behind this song before playing it live, the song was written as a literal reply to a fan who had written the band a letter while fighting for her life in a hospital.
I got your letter
And the poetry you sent me
Postmarked in December of last year
I really hope you're doing better
All your friends close by your side
One step closer to recovery
I wish there was something I could say
To erase each and every page you've been through
Even though it's not my place to save you
I appreciate but can't accept this thank you note
That's sealed with your last breath
And I won't stand aside and listen to you give up
If you'll just hold on for one more second
If you just hold on to what you have
Just hold on, just hold on
You will wake up tomorrow
If you'll just hold on for one more second
If you just hold on to what you have
Just hold on, just hold on
You will wake up tomorrow
These arms remain stretched out to you
Maybe someday you'll accept them
Maybe it's too late to save
A young girl's heart that's long stopped beating
Wake up, wake up, you've gotta believe
Wake up, wake up, you can't give up
Time keeps going on without us
Long after we're dead and gone
I wish there was something I could say
To erase each and every page you've been through
Even though it's not my place to save you
I appreciate but can't accept this thank you note
That's sealed with your last breath
And I won't stand aside and listen to you give up
If you'll just hold on for one more second
Just hold on to what you have
If you just hold on, just hold on
If you'll just hold on for one more second
Just hold on to what you have
If you just hold on, just hold on
