Holdin' On
Technikore & JTS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hate it when those lights go down
Nothing going on in this town
Seven months of sweet memory
'Till I woke up found you gone

1, 2, 3, 4
Months since we made love on the floor
I ain't getting over you
5, 6, 7, 8
Beers I'm in, stayin' late
Hoping that you walk back through that door
Still holdin' out for you
Holdin' out for you
Holdin' out for you

Sunset drives just ain't the same
Your seat is empty, I'm to blame
I remember when you said to me
Love will take us to the end

1, 2, 3, 4
Months since we made love on the floor
I ain't getting over you
5, 6, 7, 8
Beers I'm in, stayin' late
Hoping that you walk back through that door
Still holdin' out for you
Holdin' out for you
Holdin' out for you
Holdin' out for you oh
Oh you know I miss you
Miss your lips on mine
Come back into my arms
Let's stop wasting time

1, 2, 3, 4
Months since we made love on the floor
I ain't getting over you
5, 6, 7, 8
Beers I'm in, stayin' late
Hoping that you walk back through that door
Still holdin' out for you
Holdin' out for you
Holdin' out for you




Holdin' out for you
Still holdin' out for you
