Hold On
Chord Overstreet & Deepend Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Loving and fighting
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
I 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

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

I'd be so lost if you left me alone
Without you, I would be aimless and hopeless


You locked yourself in the bathroom
You're hiding from me and trying to avoid our problems


Lying on the floor when I break through
You're feeling hopeless and defeated

You're in the hospital and I'm anxiously waiting for news about your condition

I'm restless and anxious while you're lying in the hospital bed


They pull you in to feel your heartbeat
The medical staff is checking your vital signs

I'm clinging to the hope that our relationship will survive


I know I'm not that strong
I'm admitting that I'm vulnerable and scared


I just wanna hear you
I need your support and reassurance


Saying baby, let's go home
I want us to return to our happy life and overcome our struggles


Let's go home
Let's work together to mend our relationship and move forward

‘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.

Accusing, denying

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
I 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
Long endless highway, you're silent beside me
Driving a nightmare I can't escape from
Helplessly praying, the light isn't fading
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
I just wanna take you home
Hold on, I still want you
Come back, I still need you

Loving and fighting

You locked your self in the bathroom
Lying on the floor when I break through
I pull you in to feel you 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 you hand I’ll make it right
I swear to love you all my life

Hold on I still need you

Long endless highway
You're silent beside me
Driving a nightmare I can’t escape from

Helplessly prayin the light isn't fading
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
