Hanging on
Here until I'm gone
Right where I belong
Just hanging on
Even though
Watched you come and go
How was I to know
You'd steal the show
One day I'll have enough to gamble
I'll wait to hear your final call
Bet it all
Hanging on
Here until I'm gone
Right where I belong
Just hanging on
Even though
I pass this time alone
Somewhere so unknown
It heals the soul
You ask for walls
I'll build them higher
We'll lie in shadows of them all
I'd stand but they're much too tall
And I fall
February stars
Floating in the dark
Temporary scars
February stars
February stars
Floating in the dark
Temporary scars
February stars
February stars
Floating in the dark
Temporary scars
February stars
Here until I'm gone
Right where I belong
Just hanging on
Even though
Watched you come and go
How was I to know
You'd steal the show
One day I'll have enough to gamble
I'll wait to hear your final call
Bet it all
Hanging on
Here until I'm gone
Right where I belong
Just hanging on
Even though
I pass this time alone
Somewhere so unknown
It heals the soul
You ask for walls
I'll build them higher
We'll lie in shadows of them all
I'd stand but they're much too tall
And I fall
February stars
Floating in the dark
Temporary scars
February stars
February stars
Floating in the dark
Temporary scars
February stars
February stars
Floating in the dark
Temporary scars
February stars

I think it's about letting someone know that you're always gonna be there. Maybe she is playing two people and you're just letting her know that once the other guy is gone, then you'll be there right where you belong, but you're weak because you can't change her mind and that's why you're "just hanging on" Then in the "You ask for walls, I'll build them higher," he's saying that when he gets the oppurtunity to do something for her, he'll do it better than she wants it. "I'd stand but they're much too tall, and I fall." I'd stand up for myself but you know that I'm weak b/c of everything I do for you. Therefore, I have no more power because you know I'd do all that and more... so I fall.
