Holding On
Tourist Josef Salvat Niia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Saying your name leaves me weak
Boy, I need you
A ghost
Standing in the dark, half in love
With all I need, but it's not enough
You won't leave
A ghost
'Cause I'm still holding onto your body
Still holding onto your body
I've found another man but
You keep haunting me
And I'm still holding onto your body
Still holding onto your body
Whenever I open my eyes
It's you that I want to see
Staring back at me, staring back at me
Whenever I open my eyes, it's you that I want to see
Holding onto my body, holding onto my body
I've found another girl but you keep haunting me
I'm holding onto us
I'm holding onto us
I'm still connected to our love
Nothing will ever be enough
You've got me holding onto us
You've got me holding onto us
I'm still connected to our love
Nothing will ever be enough
Nothing feels the same, since I found you
Everything changed, my heart got moved
Now I'm so far
From home
Standing in the dark, half in love
With all I need, it's not enough
You won't leave
My ghost
'Cause I'm still holding onto your body
Still holding onto your body
I've found another girl but
You keep haunting me
And I'm still holding onto your body
Still holding onto your body
Whenever I open my eyes
It's you that I want to see
Staring back at me, staring back at me
Whenever I open my eyes, it's you that I want to see
Holding onto my body, holding onto my body
I've found another girl but you keep haunting me
You've got me holding onto us
You've got me holding onto us
I'm still connected to our love
Nothing will ever be enough
You've got me holding onto us
You've got me holding onto us
I'm still connected to our love
Nothing will ever be enough
I'm holding onto us
I'm holding onto us
I'm still connected to our love
Nothing will ever be enough
Holding onto us
Holding onto us
Holding onto us
Holding onto us
Holding onto us
Holding onto us
Holding onto us
Holding onto us
