It's a desperate rush to feel to much,
Make memories that you'll never love,
But what if I still need,

Those empty conversations,
Bound up in frustration,
Lost without translation?

Baby just hold on,
Hold on,


To when I laughed so hard I cried,
And you couldn't figure out why,
But you can make fun of me for as long as you like,

And I won't mind,
So hold onto it,
Don't let go of it,

Swim instead of sink,
Just jump, and don't rethink,


We waste our time building our lives,
For jobs we'll 'like' but never find,
I promise I don't need,

Your wisdom or your logic,
But I gotta admit,
I'm a little scared of it all,

Hold on,
Hold on,


To when I laughed so hard I cried,
And you couldn't figure out why,
But you can make fun of me for as long as you like,

And I won't mind,
So hold onto it,
Don't let go of it,

Swim instead of sink,
Just jump, and don't rethink,


My mind is full of textbook stuff,
But no one thought of teaching me about love,
I'm trying to hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on to it all,


To when I laughed so hard I cried,
And you couldn't figure out why,

But you can make fun of me for as long as you like,
And I won't mind,
So hold onto it,

Don't let go of it,
Swim instead of sink,
Just jump, and don't rethink.
