Hold On
SHEL Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been listenin' to the silence
Hoping that the time would move you
I put my faith in your promise
That you'd be here soon

Don't doubt it darlin', the stars may be fallin'
I'm still coming for you I can hear your whisper
Every doubt screams where are you
And every moment waiting makes the day
Harder to get trough

Don't give up darlin', the stars may be fallin'
I'm still coming for you
Hold on
Hold just a little longer
Hold on
Hold just a little longer
Hold on

I can swear I feel you
Every time I lay my head down
Nothing but restless sleepless
Long nights now

Don't lose hope darlin', the stars may be fallin'
I'm still coming for you
Hold on
Hold just a little longer
Hold on
Hold just a little longer
Hold on

Don't doubt it darlin'
I'm holdin' on



Don't give up darlin'
I'm holdin' on
Don't lose hope darlin'
I'm holdin', hold, hold

Hold on
Hold just a little longer
Hold on
Hold just a little longer
Hold on
Hold just a little longer
Hold on
Hold just a little longer
Hold on

I've been listenin' to the silence
I've been paying attention to the absence of your voice


Hoping that the time would move you
Hoping that time passes fast enough for you to arrive sooner


I put my faith in your promise
I trusted you when you said you'd be here


That you'd be here soon
That you'd come and see me soon


Don't doubt it darlin', the stars may be fallin'
Don't question it, even if the world seems to be ending


I'm still coming for you I can hear your whisper
I'm still on my way to you and I can feel your presence


Every doubt screams where are you
Every uncertainty makes me wonder where you are


And every moment waiting makes the day
Every second spent waiting makes the day seem longer


Harder to get trough
More difficult to endure


Don't give up darlin', the stars may be fallin'
Don't lose hope, even if everything seems to be falling apart


Hold on
Hang in there


Hold just a little longer
Endure just a bit more


I can swear I feel you
I'm convinced that I sense your presence


Every time I lay my head down
Every time I go to bed


Nothing but restless sleepless
I'm unable to sleep because I'm too anxious and worried


Long nights now
Nights seem endless


Don't lose hope darlin', the stars may be fallin'
Don't despair, even if everything appears hopeless


I'm holdin' on
I'm hanging on


Hold on
Endure


Hold just a little longer
Endure just a bit more


Hold on
Endure


Hold just a little longer
Endure just a bit more


Hold on
Endure


Hold just a little longer
Endure just a bit more


Hold on
Endure
