Hang On
Blue Stone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Angry words around you
Confessions are too late
No witness to this crime
There's no alibi

Moments of confusion
Try to break you down
Can it be too late?
Your life is all a lie

Hang on (hey-i-yey-i-yeah-o)
Hang on (hey-i-yey-i-yeah-i-yo)
Echoes of guilt
Surround you
Hang on (hey-i-yey-i-yeah-o)
Hang on (hey-i-yey-i-yeah-i-yo)
Suddenly fears
Rush through your mind

Silenced by a stranger
Visions of a face
No-one else to blame
Guilt is here to stay

Captured in the wrong place
Struggled for an answer
Voice without a sound
With eyes of innocence

Hang on (hey-i-yey-i-yey-o)
Hang on (hey-i-yey-i-yey-i-yo)
Echoes of guilt
Surround you
Hang on (hey-i-yey-i-yey-o)
Hang on (hey-i-yey-i-yey-i-yo)
Suddenly fears
Rush through your mind

(I-yey-i-yey-i-yey-o)
(And speak out loud)
(Moments of confusion)
(Try to break you down)
Deep inside
You know you're innocent
Recognise
And speak out loud

Moments of confusion

Hang on (hey-i-yey-i-yey-o)
Hang on (hey-i-yey-i-yeah-i-yo)
Echoes of guilt
Surround you
Hang on (hey-i-yey-i-yey-o)
Hang on (hey-i-yey-i-yey-i-yo)
Suddenly fears
Rush through your mind

Hang on (hey-i-yey-i-yey-o)
Hang on (hey-i-yey-i-yey-i-yo)
Echoes of guilt
Surround you
Hang on (hey-i-yey-i-yey-o)
Hang on (hey-i-yey-i-yey-i-yo)




Suddenly fears
Rush through your mind
