Holding On To You - twenty one pilots

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

We all watch the pain die slowly Relieving your stone cold body, still You leave us behind, see ya But I feel your presence beside me 'Cause I was only ever holding on to you I guess I should know this day would come so soon 'Cause I was only ever holding on to you Guess I should know this day would come so soon, so soon (I was only ever holding) It's so soon, so soon (I was only ever holding) It's so soon I know that you love me So this cannot finish our story, no You're the head of our tall tree And I wish I could change it, I'm sorry 'Cause I was only ever holding on to you I guess I should know this day would come so soon 'Cause I was only ever holding on to you Guess I should know this day would come so soon I miss you to death As you take your last breath The suffering came to an end as you left We're falling apart I hear your voice in the dark When I get back to sleep Vivid dreams of you start 'Cause I was only ever holding on to you (holding on to you) I guess I should know this day would come so soon (come so soon) 'Cause I was only ever holding on to you (holding on to you) Guess I should 've known this day would come so soon, so soon ('cause I was only ever holding) So soon, so soon (I was only ever holding) It's so soon, so soon (I was only ever holding) It's so soon, so soon (I was only ever holding) It's so soon, so soon

I left the east side for a west coast beauty A girl who burned my thoughts like kisses She was down by street decree She swore she'd pull my best years out of me Fat painted lips on a live wire beauty A tangerine girl with tambourine eyes Her face was my favourite magazine Her body was my favourite book to read They say that all poets must have an unrequited love As all lovers must have thought-provoking fears But holding on to you means letting go of pain Means letting go of tears Means letting go of rain Means letting go of what's not real Holding on to you, oh I left the rough side for a seaside baby A chamomile smile that pouts on cue, ha For every moment I breathe her sigh Her bosom contains my sweet alibi, yeah! In an emotional mist she breathes in fog And breathes it out as garden flowers Why me of all the tough-talking boys? I guess she heard my heartbeat through the noise They say that all poets must have an unrequited love, yes they do, ha As all lovers must have thought-provoking fears But holding on to you means letting go of pain Means letting go of tears Means letting go of rain Holding on to you, ha Means letting sorrows heal Means letting go of what's not real, yeah! Holding on to you, yeah! Woo-hoo! Wah, heard some people say that all poets must have an unrequited love, ha As all lovers I'm sure must have thought-provoking fears, yeah! But holding on to you means letting sorrows heal Means letting go of what's not real Holding on to you I left the east coast for a west coast beauty A woman who read my thoughts like kisses She was down, down by street decree She swore she'd pull my best years out of me Fat wet lips on a sea salt canvas Goodbye Picasso, hello Dolly The soil is fertile where her footsteps trod She's my new religion, she's all I got They say that all poets must have an unrequited love, yes they do, ha As all lovers, I'm sure must have thought-provoking fears, yeah! But holding on to you means letting go of pain Means letting go of tears Means letting go of rain Holding on to you, ha Means letting sorrows heal It means letting go It means letting go of pain It means letting go of pain, yeah! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, whoo It means letting go of tears, it means letting go of rain It means turning the page And letting go of pain Woo-hoo, yes it does, yes it does, yes it does
