Hold On
Lotus Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Will you meet me in the fire?
We can stare in to the flames
This world is hanging by a wire
But there's someone left to save
Come closer till you feel
How broken we'd become

Hold on to the one that you love

Hold on when the world is cracking up
Hold on to the one that you love
Just hold on

I never really knew
How the pain had left you numb
The side of me I showed to you
All the good things that I had undone

Tooth and nail
Blood and vein

My mind meets yours
And we are saved
