Holding On
Yes Lyrics

The king’s road
The journey ahead seems formidable and uncertain, like walking down a long and winding road.

Never looked so lonely
Despite the many different paths that exist, this particular road is empty and lonesome.

I see you falling
As we journey together, it's clear that you are struggling and facing difficult times.

‘Cos we don’t know
We're both uncertain and unaware of what the future holds.

Where we need to go
We're lost and unsure of where we should be headed.

If you keep folding
If you continue to give up or lose hope, then we won't be able to move forward together.

And I play my cards, then there’s no doubt
If I'm honest and open, there's no question that I don't want to lose you or let go of our relationship.

That I don’t want to
I'm reluctant to give up on us and our future together.

L-L-let you go
I don't want to let you slip away from our relationship and leave me behind.

Can’t you feel this out
Can't you sense the connection and bond that we share, despite our challenges and doubts?

Take me down
Bring me back to a simpler time, a moment of origin where we first fell in love and saw the potential in each other.

Down to where we first started
Take me back to the beginning of our journey together, where our love was new and uncorrupted by the challenges we've since faced.

‘Cos we’ve been holding
Because we've been waiting and holding onto our love, despite the difficulties we've experienced.

We’ve been holding
We've been steadfast and unwavering in our love for each other, despite our many obstacles.

We’ve been holding our breaths too long
We've been waiting anxiously and expectantly for something to change, but it's time to start living and pursuing our happiness.

Let’s pretend we’re the only ones
Let's focus on our love for each other and tune out the noise and distractions of the world around us.

I know some things can’t be outrun
I'm aware that some problems and issues in our relationship can't be ignored or solved easily.

But what if tomorrow never comes
What if our time together is limited, or we don't have as much time as we think we do?

Then we’ve been holding our breaths too long
We've been waiting and holding onto our love for too long, without moving forward or pursuing our happiness.

I know we’ve grown
We've matured and developed in our relationship, but that doesn't mean we've lost the love we started with.

Feels like we’re now ten storeys
Our love and relationship has reached new heights and challenges, and it can be intimidating.

And these heights have got you worried
You're scared and unsure of whether we can overcome the challenges ahead.

But every chapter I’ve shown
Despite our difficulties, I've consistently demonstrated my love and devotion to you throughout our relationship.

That I’m right here
I'm always here for you, through thick and thin.

And I’m tired of getting locked out by you
I'm exhausted from trying to communicate and connect with you, with little success or response.

Ya we’ve got fears
We both have anxieties and uncertainties about our love and relationship.

But I’m tired of getting locked out by you
I'm worn out from being shut out from your thoughts and emotions, and it's time to start talking and sharing again.

‘Cos we’ve been holding
We've been patient and waiting for our love to flourish and grow, but it's time to take action and pursue our happiness.

We’ve been holding
We've been waiting and hoping for something to change, but it's time to start fighting and working towards our happiness.
