Hold On We’re Going Home
Christina Grimmie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're everything that I see
I want your high love and emotion endlessly
I can't get over you
You left your mark on me
I want your high love and emotion endlessly
'Cause you're a good boy and you know it
'Cause you're a good boy and you know it
I know exactly who you could be
Just hold on we're going home
Just hold on we're going home
It's hard to do these things alone
Just hold on we're going home (home)
You're the one
You're the one
Gave you everything I love
I think there's something, baby
I think there's something
I got my eyes on you
You're everything that I see
I want your high love and emotion endlessly
I can't get over you
You left your mark on me
I want your high love and emotion endlessly
'Cause you're a good boy and you know it
I know exactly who you could be
Just hold on we're going home
Just hold on we're going home
It's hard to do these things alone
Just hold on we're going home
The lyrics to Christina Grimmie's song "Hold On We're Going Home" are an expression of desire and longing for someone who has left an indelible mark on the singer. The repetition of "you're everything that I see" and "I want your high love and emotion endlessly" demonstrate the degree to which the singer is consumed by their desire for this person. The reference to the person as a "good boy" indicates that they see something special in him, but also suggests that there may be others who do not recognize this aspect of his personality. The singer seems to be urging the person to hold on and return to her, offering reassurance that they are not alone.
The lyrics also suggest a vulnerability and a sense of uncertainty on the part of the singer. She acknowledges that "It's hard to do these things alone" and seems to be searching for a connection with the person she desires. The repetition of "just hold on we're going home" demonstrates a kind of faith or trust that things will work out in the end. The final lines, "You're the one/Gave you everything I love/I think there's something, baby/I think there's something" suggest that the singer is still exploring her feelings about this person and may not yet be entirely sure what she wants or how she feels.

Her version of this song always gave me chills. I remember seeing it live just being blown away, what a rendition, what a voice, what a beautiful soul. Rest easy princess ❤️
@anitabreakone
I had no idea Drake sang this so I listened to his version and I've got to say Christina brings the heart, love and emotion in her performance. For me this is so much better.
@themultitaskingfrog
Ricky lopez I was about to say that ❤

Who knew Walder Frey has some emotions!
@mikerundberg8301
Yeah . I think Adam was amazed on how great she really was
@roxiecohen5128
I'm still angry someone took this beautiful soul from us all. This performance continues to give chills, even now.

I literally despise living in a world where a Donald Trump or Joe Biden live forever ♾️ -- but Martin Luther King jr., Tupac Shakur, JFK, anybody who TRULY wants to change things for the better, assassinated early in life. While the cardi B's, and Nicki Minaj's of the world, almost never go out early. Gee, what a strange "coincidence" (only if you're not paying attention)....
@bt4582
Yeah that is exactly how I feel. She was such as amazing talent. 1 in a million. Really pisses me off.
