Hang On
Jr. Thomas & 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
Hang On by Jr. Thomas & The Volcanos is a song about a relationship that has been broken, but there are still feelings involved. The singer's heart was broken, yet he still feels the love burning inside him. He talks about how the woman he was with messed up by getting too close to his friends, and now they keep asking about her, even though she's moved on. He mentions that she tried to pull him back into the relationship, but they were just fronting because consistency is not their thing.
The singer feels torn between wanting to end the relationship and falling back in love with her. He knows that there aren't enough hours in the day for a relationship that lacks consistency. The chorus repeatedly states that they should stop talking before they say too much. They've been in each other's lives for too long, and saying too much can just make things worse. The bridges reveal that they had amazing moments together, but they were not enough to sustain the relationship over time.
Overall, Hang On is a sad, yet groovy song that speaks about the fragile nature of relationships. It is about those moments when you feel like you still have feelings for someone who broke your heart, and you're trying to maintain a balance between giving into those feelings and moving on.
