Hang On
JO YURI Lyrics

These lyrics depict the emotions and thoughts of someone who is desperately trying to reach out to their significant other but continuously facing disappointment and unanswered calls. The opening lines convey the singer's attempt to appear unaffected by the situation, as they try to pass the day without any worries. However, they spend the night calling repeatedly in hopes of their partner answering and providing a response. Despite knowing that their efforts may be in vain, they feel ashamed for being left alone with their feelings.

The singer expresses their disbelief and sadness over the absence of their partner. They implore their partner to pick up the phone, highlighting the endless waiting and hanging on that has become a constant in their life. They long for their partner to call their name again, emphasizing the emptiness and loneliness they feel when their calls go unanswered. They scream out, but all they receive is the echo of their own voice.

The lyrics then shift to the singer questioning their partner's whereabouts and who they are with. They yearn for answers and for their partner to acknowledge the magnitude of what they had together. The singer admits to repeatedly checking their phone, their eyes becoming tired and their heart growing cold as they wait for the warmth of their partner's love. They hold onto the belief in love, maintaining hope even after sending thirty-two texts without a response.

The final section of the lyrics conveys a sense of nostalgia. The singer mentions how they are still reminded of the past happiness they shared with their partner whenever they fall asleep. They express their desire to handle their relationship better and rediscover the feeling of being together. Despite the pain and emptiness experienced, they still cling onto the hope that their partner will answer the phone and continue hanging on.
