Hold On Tonight

Letra

[Intro] The lights went out again. We laughed. What else could we do? [Verse 1] There's a letter on the table we've been scared to open twice, another month of counting every dollar, every night. Your shoes are by the doorway, my jacket's on the chair, we don't have much between us but somehow we're still here. You say the city's changing, I say maybe so are we, but every time the world gets heavy you still look at me. And I don't need an answer. I don't need a perfect plan. Just give me something honest I can hold inside my hands. [Pre-Chorus] We're running low. We're running late. But we've been through worse than what is waiting at the gate. So take my hand. Don't look down. If we're going through the fire... we're going together now. [Chorus] HOLD ON TONIGHT. DON'T LET GO. WE'VE GOT A LONG WAY LEFT BUT WE'RE NOT GOING HOME. HOLD ON TONIGHT. LET THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW. WE MAY NOT HAVE MUCH... BUT WE'VE GOT ENOUGH TO KEEP THIS HEART ALIVE. Hold on. Hold on. We're still here tonight. [Verse 2] I remember when we promised we'd be gone before the winter. Now the years are in the hallway and our names are on the bills. Funny how forever starts with something small. A secondhand table. Two cheap glasses. A picture on the wall. You worked late through December. I took whatever came. We learned that being tired doesn't mean you've lost the game. There were nights we barely spoke. There were mornings we almost quit. But somehow every broken piece kept finding where it fit. [Pre-Chorus] We're running low. We're running late. But I still see that same fire when you look my way. So take my hand. Don't look down. If the world wants us to surrender... make it come and tell us now. [Chorus] HOLD ON TONIGHT. DON'T LET GO. WE'VE GOT A LONG WAY LEFT BUT WE'RE NOT GOING HOME. HOLD ON TONIGHT. LET THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW. WE MAY NOT HAVE MUCH... BUT WE'VE GOT ENOUGH TO KEEP THIS HEART ALIVE. Hold on. Hold on. We're still here tonight. [Bridge] Maybe we never get rich. Maybe nobody remembers our names. Maybe the road doesn't open the way we thought it would. But look at me. We're not finished. Not even close. [GUITAR BUILD] Every door that closed... Every night we doubted... Every time they said: “Be realistic.” [FULL BAND EXPLOSION] We made it this far. That's real enough for me. [GUITAR SOLO] [Final Chorus] HOLD ON TONIGHT. DON'T LET GO. LET THE WINDOWS SHAKE. LET THE WHOLE STREET KNOW. HOLD ON TONIGHT. WE'RE NOT DONE YET. WE'VE BEEN LIVING ON LESS... BUT WE NEVER LEARNED HOW TO LIVE WITH REGRET. HOLD ON TONIGHT. IF TOMORROW COMES HARD... WE'LL MEET IT TOGETHER WITH EVERYTHING WE ARE. Hold on. Hold on. Turn the radio high. We may not own the world... but tonight it feels like ours. [Outro] The lights came back on. We didn't notice.
