Holding On
Icecream Hands Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been holding on to what's left of our beating hearts
I never left, we never left each others minds
Lately I've been wondering, hoping this is happening
If I could open my eyes...
Oh, I can see your eyes through thick and thin
I've been patiently waiting for answers for my entertainment
I've been holding on to what's left of our beating hearts
I never left, we never left each others minds
Lately I've been wondering, hoping this is happening
If I could open my eyes...
Oh, I can see your eyes through thick and thin
I've been patiently waiting for answers for my entertainment
Come close, feel me
Be by my side till the night falls, night falls
Come close, feel me
Be by my side till the night falls
Lost in the feel of this
My emotions are endless
Tell me, do you even, even
Lost in the feel of this
My emotions are endless
Tell me, do you even think like this?
Oh, I can see your eyes through thick and thin
I've been patiently waiting for answers for my entertainment




Oh, I can see your eyes through thick and thin
I've been patiently waiting for answers for my entertainment
