David Gray - Holding On Lyrics

Baby, now don't look back
Don't let those feelings start
Don't let the line go slack
When you're pulling it all apart
How to describe the sky
Or dismantle a beating heart

Guess, we're just holding on
Baby, we're holding on
Honey, we're holding on
To the world

Seeking assurances
Some kind of guarantee
There has to be more than this, oh now
More than the eye can see
Holding the lanterns high
While we sink with our vanity

I guess, we're just holding on
Baby, we're holding on
Honey, we're holding on
To the world

Here we are holding on
Baby, we're holding on
Honey, we're holding on
To the world

Now I'm gonna love you
Like the spring bursts from the ground
Unfurling from the ground
Unfurling from the ground

Faces of buildings, trees
All that is stoned, inert
Here in these empty streets
Well, it silently does assert
That we are just passing ghosts, honey
Vapors of joy and hurt

And here we are holding on
Baby, we're holding on
Honey, we're holding on
To the world

Baby we're holding on
Oh yeah, we are holding on
Hey now, we're holding on
Baby we're holding on

Here we are holding on
Baby, we're holding on
Guess we're just holding on to the world
Baby, we're holding on to the world
