Hold The Line
The Disco Boys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's not in the way that you hold me
It's not in the way you say you care
It's not in the way you've been treating my friends
It's not in the way that you stayed till the end
It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do

Hold the line
Love isn't always on time, whoa, whoa, whoa
Hold the line
Love isn't always on time, whoa, whoa, whoa

It's not in the words that you told me, girl
It's not in the way you say you're mine, ooh
It's not in the way that you came back to me
It's not in the way that your love set me free
It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do

Hold the line
Love isn't always on time, whoa, whoa, whoa
Hold the line
Love isn't always on time, whoa, whoa, whoa

It's not in the words that you told me
It's not in the way you say you're mine, ooh
It's not in the way that you came back to me
It's not in the way that your love set me free
It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do

Hold the line
Love isn't always on time, whoa, whoa, whoa
Hold the line
Love isn't always on time
Love isn't always on time

Hold the line
Love isn't always on time
Love isn't always, love isn't always on time
Hold the line
Love isn't always on time
Love isn't always on time




Love isn't always on time
Love isn't always on time, whoa, whoa, whoa

Overall Meaning

The Disco Boys’s “Hold The Line” is a song about the ups and downs of a relationship. The lyrics suggest that love is not always about holding someone tightly, saying all the right things, or being there until the end. Love can be complicated and unpredictable; it’s not always on time. The song emphasizes the importance of patience and perseverance in relationships. It urges listeners to “hold the line” despite the difficulties they may face in their love lives.


The repetition of the phrase “Love isn’t always on time” in the chorus reinforces the idea that love is not something that can be controlled or predicted. The verses talk about various ways in which love isn’t always what it seems to be. It can’t always be measured by the way someone holds you, by their words, or even by their actions. The song suggests that true love goes beyond all these things, and it’s essential to keep that fact in mind when things get rough in a relationship.


Overall, “Hold The Line” is a song about the complexities of love and how it requires patience and persistence. Love can be unpredictable, but it’s worth holding on to.

nice to be a part of it boys! ;)

The original was good. This is good in a different way. It should honor Toto that their song is not only remembered but redone. It could have just been a forgotten classic that everyone has heard about 33 million too many times already.
