Rachael Sage - Older Lyrics

If I am only for myself, who will be for me
These are words my angel's often spoken
But anger's like a wooden plaque high on a dusty shelf
To break it down could leave you feeling broken

So I hold on to love, hold on to you
With a grip so loose that faith will never falter
Hold on to light like I hold on to truth
Where expectation ain't as high as heaven's shoulder
Because you're older
Because you're older

Upon only one condition should be banished as a phrase
I know it has held us long in prison
But every time I call you up I feel as I'm enslaved
Like a little girl to long-division

So I hold on to love, hold on to you
With a grip so loose that faith will never falter
Hold on to light like I hold on to truth
Where expectation ain't as high as heaven's shoulder
Because you're older
Because you're older

Seven years I've spun this wheel, would I know if I had won
Seventeen times lusted and lost, could it ever been enough
So many times I've tried to fly only to crash to my knees
I know I've never been alone, so thank you God but now help me please
Hold on
Hold on

Hold on to love, hold on to you
With a grip so loose that faith will never falter
Hold on to light like I hold on to truth
Where expectation ain't as high as heaven's shoulder
Because you're older
Because you're older

And if I am only for myself, tell me who will be for me
If I am only for myself...Who will be
When I'm older
When I'm older
