Hang On
JR. THOMAS AND THE VOLCANOS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You gave my heart away
Love still burning
New owners will feel the flame
You fucked up
Brought me too close to friends
Now they asking
But you New York, LA, GA but you cannot run from love
I can't conform, naw
You pull my leg
Fuck around and stay
Fall right back in love
But who are we fronting for
Try to close it, foot in the door still
You won't end it, I will
Aint enough hours in the day
Consistency just not thing for us
But we had fun when we played
Let me hang up before I say too much
Let me hang up before I say too
You should hang up before you say too much
Stop texting before we say too much yea
Yea yea yea
Shine like two stars when we in the night
If yo ex around gotta shield his eyes
Rolled a wood but the Henny got you feeling right
Yo man said he be here for you but aint here tonight
Can we leave and smoke?
Think about him knowing but you know he won't
Think about me caring but you know I don't.
Should have been a song
Where the fuck did we go wrong?
Aint enough hours in the day
Consistency just not thing for us
But we had fun when we played
Let me hang up before I say too much
The song "Hang On" by Jr. Thomas And The Volcanos talks about a complicated relationship that is plagued with inconsistency and the inability to commit. The opening lines "You broke me, You gave my heart away" suggests that the singer has been deeply hurt in this relationship. Despite this, the love is still burning and the singer is willing to fall right back in love. However, the situation is not ideal, and the couple is only fronting in front of others. There is never enough time for them and consistency is just not their thing. Nevertheless, they had fun when it played, but they find themselves unable to accept the reality of their situation.
Throughout the song, the singer talks about how he and his partner can't seem to shake the situation off. They are aware that they cannot remain together but struggle to end it.
