Hold Tight London
The Chemical Brothers Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So do, I warn you
I see things when I hold you
But I've whispered: "it's alright"
It is you and me and a long night

You're a ghost in the doorway,
I can see through, but I hold tight,
I'll just stay on holding until it hurts,

I just want you to know your lovely,

You're a ghost in the doorway,
I can see through, but I hold tight,
I'll just stay on holding until it hurts,
I just want you to know your lovely,

Don't worry, nothing can go wrong,
Don't worry, nothing can go wrong,
Don't worry, nothing can go wrong,

Don't worry, nothing can go wrong,
(nothing!!)
