Hold onto Me
Music Travel Love Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you feel your world shaking
And when you feel your faith fading
When you feel like a love is taking, way too long

Baby, hold on to me
Tighter than your sweetest memory, of you and me
When you're looking for an open door
But it seems so out of reach
Baby, hold on to me, on to me

Life can weigh you down like a stone
It can bend you, break you
Leave you skin and bones
It's a long and winding road
You don't have to walk alone

So baby, hold on to me, onto me
Tighter than your sweetest memory, of you and me
A place to lay your troubles down
That's what I'll be
Baby, hold on to me, on to me, yeah-yeah

Hold on to me
Hold on to me
A place to lay your troubles down
That's what I'll be

So baby, hold on to me, on to me
Tighter than your sweetest memory, of you and me
When you're looking for an open door
But it seems so out of reach
Baby, hold on to me, on to me
Hold on to me, on to me, yeah yeah
Hold on to me

Woah, woah, waah

Line by Line Meaning

When you feel your world shaking
At times when you're uncertain and things seem out of control


And when you feel your faith fading
When you lose hope and belief in yourself or in something greater


When you feel like a love is taking, way too long
When you feel love is taking too much time to arrive or come back to you


Baby, hold on to me
Hold on to me, I'll be there for you


Tighter than your sweetest memory, of you and me
I will be the one holding onto you more than any precious memory we share


When you're looking for an open door
When you're searching for a new opportunity


But it seems so out of reach
But it feels like it's unattainable


A place to lay your troubles down
A space to confide in and to unload your burdens


That's what I'll be
I'll be that person for you


Life can weigh you down like a stone
The struggles of life can be like heavy stones that weigh you down


It can bend you, break you
Life can bend and break you down emotionally and physically


Leave you skin and bones
To the point where you feel depleted and empty inside


It's a long and winding road
The journey of life can be a long and challenging path


You don't have to walk alone
You don't have to do it by yourself


Hold on to me, on to me
I'm still here for you, holding onto you


Hold on to me
Keep holding onto me

This is a FANTASTIC song! Extremely well written & performed. Due to some hard circumstances, I ran away from home when I was 14. Lake Tahoe was where I ended up, in the middle of winter. Hard times. But this song took me back there.

I'm unsure why? But as I've been thinking it over the past couple of days? It wasn't a woman, or even a person, at that time I had to hold on to....

It was HOPE. For a better day. A new life. A place I could belong, where people actually cared, & I wasn't just an after-thought.. a responsibility.. a burden.

I felt Hope for the first time, even thought the time was difficult. Strange I guess, for someone so young. But that's what it was.

And that's what this wonderful song means to me.

This song is a treasure- I can't believe I only found it recently. But I DID find it.

Thank you MTL for creating this work of art. With so many cover songs being done, it's always awesome to find great, Original music, right here- fully alive & well!

Tighter than your sweetest memory, of you and me.
A place to lay your troubles down,
That's what i'll be.

It can bend you, break you,
Leave you skin and bones.
It's a long winding road.
You don't have to walk it alone.

Baby, hold on to me.
Tighter than your sweetest memory,
Of you and me.
When you're looking for an open door,
But it seems so out of reach.
Baby, hold on to me, on to me.

Hold on to me. Hold on to me.
A place to lay your troubles down.
