Hold On To You
Andrew Bayer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a moon rising, can you see it too?
Out there on the horizon
I feel it coming, do you feel it too?
There's something in my bones
Before the colours change into the night
And recollect you when your image fades
On the canvas of my mind
I hold on to you i hold on to you
I hold on to you i hold on to you
If you have to leave us all
I'll still be holding on to you
You know you won't be alone
And I won't be without you
If you have to leave us all
I'll still be holding on to you
You know you won't be alone
And I won't be without you
If you have to leave us all
I'll still be holding on to you
You know you won't be alone
And I won't be without you
I hold on to you i hold on to you

The singer mentions saving the colors on their palette before they fade into the night, symbolizing their desire to hold onto the beauty and vibrancy of the moment. The mention of "recollecting you when your image fades on the canvas of my mind" implies a longing to remember and cherish the image of the other person, even when their physical presence might no longer be there.
The chorus repeats the phrase "I hold on to you" multiple times, emphasizing the singer's determination and commitment to not let go. It represents a strong emotional attachment or bond that they refuse to relinquish. The repetition reinforces the idea of holding on tightly to the other person.
The final lines of the song express a devotion and a promise to continue holding on to the other person, even if they have to leave and are physically absent. The singer acknowledges that they won't be alone and that their connection will remain strong despite any physical distance.
