Holding on To - eliza elliott

And if forever never comes, then I And if forever never comes, then I And if forever never comes, then I I'll hold on, and hold on... I keep listening to my chest For a beat, but there's nothing left It's been a week since I've seen you And I still can't believe it 'Cause I'm dying inside alone And every day we gotta be apart I'm like a baby with a broken heart But the second that I see you You will know how much I need you 'Cause I never be lettin' you go (Well, you know I) I'm lost without you And there's nothing I can do You're the one I can't go without But by holding onto you Then I'll be holding on forever I've got you now but Not letting go of you Never be together long enough 'Cause every moment I'm with you It's like I'm holding onto Heaven And if forever never comes, then I And if forever never comes, then I And if forever never comes, then I I'll hold on, and hold on And if I can write a symphony Baby you would be my melody And you would flow like a river Slowly going on forever Like a feather that's blowin' away Like every woman needs a fairy tale Like every mother's love that never fails Like every game that needs a player Every sinner needs a savior I've a feeling you're with the saints (Well, you know I) I'm lost without you And there's nothing I can do You're the one I can't go without But by holding onto you Then I'll be holding on forever I've got you now but Not letting go of you Never be together long enough 'Cause every moment I'm with you It's like I'm holding onto Heaven And I'm willing to wait Just to see you another day What I'm waiting for Wash this pain away And it's never too late (Too late) And if forever never comes, then I And if forever never comes, then I And if forever never comes, then I I'll hold on, and hold on (Well, you know I) I'm lost without you And there's nothing I can do You're the one I can't go without But by holding onto you Then I'll be holding on forever I got you now but Not letting go of you Never be together long enough 'Cause every moment I'm with you It's like I'm holding onto Heaven And if forever never comes, then I And if forever never comes, then I And if forever never comes, then I 'Cause every moment I'm with you It's like I'm holding onto Heaven And if forever never comes, then I And if forever never comes, then I And if forever never comes, then I 'Cause every moment I'm with you It's like I'm holding onto Heaven

All your letters in the fire One by one they go Disappearing in to flames They make an eerie glow... Holding On To Smoke You're just smoke in the air, In the Air Holding On To Smoke You can never be held Yet you're everywhere- Fire can't console me with The lessons I have learned Fire can't consume your laugh And memory can't be burned Holding On To Smoke You're just smoke in the air, In the Air Holding On To Smoke You can never be held Yet you're everywhere Like a fog across the land Like the nighttime's sound Here you are, embracing me And yet you can be found Holding On To Smoke You're just smoke in the air, In the Air Holding On To Smoke You can never be held Yet you're everywhere Holding On To Smoke You're just smoke in the air, In the Air Holding On To Smoke You can never be held Yet you're everywhere

I've seen the south of France I've seen the sunset dance Over Sunset Avenue I've seen the Rolling Stones Got real high on Rock n Roll Seen a lot of dreams come true But ain't no moment like when I'm holding onto you Ain't no moment like when I'm holding onto you Baby you're above the years I've been moved to tears By the wonders of this old world One of God's mysteries Didn't ever fail to get to me Is the moment when I'm holdin onto you Ain't no moment like when I'm holding onto you I've seen a newborn child Puts stars in her mamas eyes And i pray to the man in the moon I got drunk with the highway men Felt the burn of the desert wind Seen some promise and I do's Ain't no moment like when I'm holding onto you Ain't no moment like when I'm holding onto you Baby you're above the years I've been moved to tears By the wonders of this old world One of God's mysteries It never fails to get to me Is the moment when I'm holding onto you Ain't no moment like when I'm holding onto you Baby we just rolled in It's cold here in Michigan Got a sold-out show tonight Pretty soon we'll hit the stage I'll feel the lights hit my face We'll see some magic in the room Ain't no moment like when I'm holding onto you Ain't no moment like when I'm holding onto you No no no no Ain't no moment like when I'm holding onto you Ain't no moment like when I'm holding onto you

You said I'm holdin' onto heartache You said I wear it like a crown It's gonna drag me down I'm holdin' onto heartache You should be starin' at the sky The birds just passin' by, love The wind held us up, but We knew that all would change Creates the strangest feelin' Just slowly waitin' for the end I still have dreams about it The moments as they came The moments never shown to us Because we faded into darkness I can still hear a silence I can still hear a clock that's tickin' You said I'm holdin' onto heartache You said I wear it like a crown It's gonna drag me down I'm holdin' onto heartache You should be starin' at the sky The birds just passin' by, love Holdin' on to heartache The nights, they change in seasons Become the strangest days I called you twice, but then regretted it And changed my number The questions that I'd ask you Where did it all go wrong? There's endless versions of the thing That keeps me driftin' back to darkness I can still hear your silence I can still hear a clock that's tickin' You said I'm holdin' onto heartache You said I wear it like a crown It's gonna drag me down I'm holdin' onto heartache You should be starin' at the sky The birds just passin' by, love You know the party's over When you're standin' in an empty space alone And time can always heal you If you let it make its way into your bones Nothing's ever easy To be honest, I'm not easy on myself The second that I see you The space between us just comes floodin' back You said I'm holdin' onto heartache You said I wear it like a crown It's gonna drag me down I'm holdin' onto heartache You should be starin' at the sky The birds just passin' by, love

It's so hard to imagine your lips On the skin of somebody else, baby It's so hard to imagine your souls Intertwined, in the bond that we once had It's so hard, I suppose But that's how it goes, that's how it goes When the poetry turns to prose That's how it goes It's so hard, to be sad Cause I don't wanna be the one you had I don't wanna be the one you had And I know, I've been bad But I don't wanna be the one you had I just wanna be the one you have The one you have It's so hard to imagine your lust And your sweat on somebody else, baby It's so hard to imagine you look Look at him like you had your eyes on me It's so hard, I should know But that's how it goes, that's how life goes I'll be smarter in time Will you then be mine? It's so hard, to be sad Cause I don't wanna be the one you had I don't wanna be the one you had And I know, I've been bad But I don't wanna be the one you had I just wanna be the one you have The one you have I'm holding on to love I'm holding on to love I'm holding on to love Still holding on to love I'm holding on to love I'm holding on to love I'm holding on to love Yeah I'm holding on to love I'm holding on to love Still holding on to love I'm holding on to love It's so hard, to be sad Cause I don't wanna be the one you had I don't wanna be the one you had And I know, I've been bad But I don't wanna be the one you had I just wanna be the one you have The one you have

You walk down Alameda Shuffling your deck of trick cards over everyone Like some precious only son Face down, bow to the champion You walk down Alameda Looking at the cracks in the sidewalk Thinking about your friends How you maintain all them in A constant state of suspense For your own protection over their affection Nobody broke your heart You broke your own 'Cause you can't finish what you start Walk down Alameda brushing off the nightmares you wish Could plague me when I'm awake So now you see, your first mistake Was thinking that you could relate For one or two minutes she liked you But the fix is in You're all pretension I never pay attention Nobody broke your heart You broke your own 'Cause you can't finish what you start Nobody broke your heart You broke your own 'Cause you can't finish what you start Nobody broke your heart You broke your own 'Cause you can't finish what you start Nobody broke your heart If you're alone it must be you that wants to be apart

Do you think that it'd be warm in Montana If I only went for a day No, I won't move out of this city Because I always take her with me I just need, I need, I need to get away And I'm not sure I'm gonna make it to all fifty I never met a state that didn't leave a bruise 'Cause I was born heavy handed And then the money left me stranded So, I've got time to give and daylight to lose So, I'm gonna call you tomorrow Even if you don't pick up and I'm gonna tell you I love you Even though it's not enough And if they ask if I was boring, you could tell 'em this story Oh you can say, I say, I say too much Like how I wish you didn't move to Colorado No wait, I wish I didn't keep you in my phone 'Cause every time I start to miss you Oh I could tell you in an instant And you don't need to, need to, need to know Then I had that dream where we meet in San Francisco And you look at me like I'm a bad idea And then we kiss a million times 'cause I rehearsed my lines Of what I'd say, I'd say, I'd say to you So, I'm gonna call you tomorrow Even if you don't pick up and I'm gonna tell you I love you Even though it's not enough And if they ask if I was boring, you could tell 'em this story Oh you can say, I say, I say too much So, I'm gonna call you tomorrow And hope that you don't pick up So that I can tell you I love you Until the voice mail interrupts And when they ask too many questions Baby let them Because I play, I play, I play, I play too much

You can be the moon I'll be the sun You leave too soon We've barely just begun We've barely just begun I watch and I rise But you control the tides From the highest of the highs You took me for a ride You took me for a ride We'll go and run in circles, a force you can not fight Cause I am the day and you are the night And it's in your nature, to orbit it close than far I thought you could defy it and be my shining star My shining star You let me shine through To make the fullest of the moons Took credit for my light And the magic from my eyes You took the magic from my eyes We'll go and run in circles, a force you can not fight Cause I am the day and you are the night And it's in your nature, to orbit it close than far But I thought you could defy it and be my shining star My shining star Goodnight my stars Goodnight my moon, moon I see your waves they crack monsoon [?], soon (Ooooo) (I see your waves) (Ooooo) (Soon) Goodnight my stars Goodnight my moon, moon I see your waves it cracked monsoon [?], soon Goodnight my stars Goodnight my moon, moon
