Holding Fast

Living on the edge, drifting away

With everything I do and say

I can feel it slipping through my hands

I been trying to slow down, but it ain't much use

In a town that plays it fast and loose

It's shaky ground, no matter where I stand

I keep saying it'll be fine

All I gotta do is keep walking that line

But sometimes, I can't see it anymore

So, you can get mad and scream and shout

And you can curse my name, just don't walk out

Cause I need you like I never have before

Can you help me hold fast, try to keep sight?

Straighten up, fly right?

Can we double down on what we know is true?

Can you help me stop jerking back and forth?

Start searching for true north?

Wanna make it last, so I'm holding fast to you

I get tired, trying to make it through

I don't want to take it out on you

So, I hit the ground running from it all

I come back, but I don't explain

I just try to make you feel my pain

And I treat you like the safest place to fall

It ain't right, but you wear it well

I know it hurts, but you sure can't tell

You're so much stronger than I'll ever be

You shouldn't have to take it all in stride

You shouldn't have to keep it all inside

You ought to have a little help from me

Still, you help me hold fast, try to keep sight

Straighten up, fly right

Let's double down on what we know is true

Can you help me stop jerking back and forth?

Start searching for true north?

Wanna make it last, so I'm holding fast to you

I Wanna make it last, so I'm holding fast to you
