Hold On
Chord Overstreet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Accusing, denying
I can't imagine a world with you gone
The joy and the chaos, the demons we're made of
I'd be so lost if you left me alone
You locked yourself in the bathroom
Lying on the floor when I break through
Can you hear me screaming, "Please, don't leave me"
Hold on, I still want you
Come back, I still need you
Let me take your hand, I'll make it right
I swear to love you all my life
Hold on, I still need you
A long endless highway, you're silent beside me
Drivin' a nightmare I can't escape from
Helplessly praying, the light isn't fadin'
Hiding the shock and the chill in my bones
They took you away on a table
I pace back and forth as you lay still
They pull you in to feel your heartbeat
Can you hear me screaming, "Please, don't leave me"
Hold on, I still want you
Come back, I still need you
Let me take your hand, I'll make it right
I swear to love you all my life
Hold on, I still need you
I don't wanna let go
I know I'm not that strong
I just wanna hear you
Saying, "Baby, let's go home
Let's go home
Yeah, I just wanna take you home"
Hold on, I still want you
Come back, I still need you
The lyrics to Chord Overstreet's song, Hold On, are a poignant reflection on the strength of love and the fear of loss. The opening lines evoke the contradictions and complexities of a close relationship, where love and conflict can exist side by side. The singer expresses how they cannot imagine a world without their loved one, embodied in the line "I can't imagine a world with you gone." The joy and chaos that comes from being with someone are also acknowledged, with the line "The joy and the chaos, the demons we're made of."
The chorus is a plea for the loved one not to leave - "Hold on, I still want you/Come back, I still need you." The lyrics speak to the deep fear of loss that can come with loving someone, and the intensity of love that makes it hard to let go. The desperation in the line "Can you hear me screaming, 'Please, don't leave me'" underscores this fear.
The second verse reveals the source of the fear - the loved one is ill and near death. The imagery of being on a "long endless highway" and "driving a nightmare I can't escape from" captures the helplessness and despair that can come from watching someone you love suffer. The lines "Helplessly praying, the light isn't fading/Hiding the shock and the chill in my bones" speak to the hopelessness and fear that can come from feeling powerless in the face of illness and death.
The song concludes with the singer's heartfelt desire to hold onto their loved one, expressed through the lines "I don't wanna let go/I just wanna hear you/Saying 'Baby, let's go home/Let's go home.'" The tender, intimate imagery of holding hands and going home together speaks to the depth of the love that the singer feels for their partner.
Overall, Chord Overstreet's Hold On is a moving and powerful song that speaks to the universal human experience of loving deeply, and the fear of losing that love.

Saying, "Baby, let's go home
I long for things to go back to normal and for us to be together again
Let's go home
I want us to be in a place of safety and comfort, together

‘Hold On’ is a powerful and emotional song about finding a loved one close to death, from suicide, and the person who found them, doesn’t want them to die and is asking them to hold on. Also featured in the series finale of The Vampire Diaries.
Also: Chord said in an interview with People Music “The inspiration behind ‘Hold On’ is just the experience I’ve had [with] relationships,” he said. “I’d been through a rough relationship that had its ups and downs — it was kinda crazy, back and forth. I feel like a lot of people have gone through that, and the picture that I wanted to paint was the unconditional love that person, even though something may end, it’s always kind of haunting you a little bit.
