Hold On - Noah Reid

Well it’s hard to hear yourself think above the noise on our street

And it’s hard to cool down when your body just generates heat

And it’s hard to write songs when you feel like you can’t even speak

But it ain’t hard to tell you’re the only thing I need

And I’ve been on the wrong end of too many a telephone call

Tryin' to say too much and just endin' up saying nothing at all

'Til I’m pacin' the floors and I’m bouncin' my head off the wall

And it ain’t hard to tell this’ll all be well in the fall

If you can just hold on, hold on, hold on with me

'Cause I can only be so strong for so long without you holding on to me

And I’m singin' yesterday’s songs wishin' I could be with you tonight

And tomorrow my surrogate friends will say, «Hey man are you all right?»

Oh, it’s like everybody’s eye’s on the prize but they all lost their sight

Oh, it ain’t hard to tell this is hell and it just ain’t my life

And I’m tired of sleepin' alone, tired of wakin' up here

And I’m tired of suppressin' these same unexplainable fears

And I’m tired of believin' I’ve wasted my formative years

But with a hand on your side of the bed

I remember the words that you said

Oh and it ain’t hard to tell whose voice is in my head

Just tellin' me to hold on, hold on, and you’ll see

That we can be so strong for so long if you just keep holding on

Well, we’re not there yet but we’re goin' home

But we’re not there yet so hold on
