Hang On
Watchmen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

you get so lonely all the time
too young to lose your faith and too old cry

like a storm in the night
Feel my heart, It´s stronger
I can see in your eyes
Can you feel the anger?
looking for someone
looking for someone
in the eye of the storm
Tell me I´ll find you someday

hang on, nothing lasts forever
hang on, holiding on together
hang on, nothing lasts forever

You get so lonely to find some way out
I´ve been taking my sorrow all this time
Hearmy voice through the night
Feel the fire burning.

I can see it in your eyes
Now the dice are rolling

Looking for someone...





Hang on, nothing lasts forever...
