Hold On My Heart Lyrics
The song is an affirmation to himself. He's fearing to let go and show all his vulnerabilities with his lover. He's very in love and last time he felt this way he was hurt or disappointed. He hopes she understands.
This is a beautiful, mellow and peaceful song. Fans of Phil Collins or Genesis's softer music should like this.
Thanks! I love this song...

Simple song about the fear of taking the next step in a relationship, likely related to previous experiences of rejection and depression.
I've heard this song a couple of times before but never really listened closely to the lyrics until today, it really reminds me of a relationship I had with a girl I met last July. We hit it off right away after we first met and really liked each other but thing is, she's Brazilian and was to be going back to Brazil only 3 weeks after we first met. She did plan on returning in November and we hoped to pick up the relationship where it left off and go from there, hopefully start dating. Problem is, she was deported back to Brazil immediately and a 5 year suspension put on her visa. We were both devastated, truly heartbroken. We tried to get her visa reinstated but it cost too much $$. We also tried to get together in another country but I'm disabled, hard for me to travel. As I was trying to plan our trip to meet somewhere, She started feeling lonely. She would tell me she couldn't wait much longer and, well, eventually she found another guy. So I think of her as I hear this song. She told me I'd always be in her heart and I said the same of her. I think of this song in a literal sense also because for Christmas, I bought her a necklace which had a cross with a heart around it. (Missing you Isa)

Going through this feeling, again as we speak.. What a powerful, moving song.
Only one comment? It's a good song. Stoolhardy nailed the meaning, though..
