Hold Me Now Lyrics

Fall asleep to dreams of foam
Where the waves are crashing
The only place I've ever known
Now the future has me

I see the fire in the sky
See it all around me
I said the past is dead
The life I had is gone

Said I won't give up
Until I see the sun

Hold me now
'Til the fear is leaving
I am barely breathing

Waking up and letting go
To the sound of angels
Am I alive or just a ghost?
Haunted by my sorrows

Hope is slipping through my hands
Gravity is taking hold

I said I'm not afraid
That I am brave enough
I will not give up
Until I see the sun

Hold me now
'Til the fear is leaving
I am barely breathing

Crying out
These tired wings are falling
I need you to catch me

As I burn
As I break
I can't take it anymore

I return to the place where
Where the water covers over everything
Rescue me somehow

Hold me now
'Til the fear is leaving
I am barely breathing

Crying out
These tired wings are falling
I need you to catch me

Hold me now
'Til the fear is leaving
I am barely breathing

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I listen to this song alot, and I believe its about someone who is ready to give up but feels they should keep going because they believe someone is there for them and motivates them to keep going.

''Now the future has me'' showing they are holding on to hope and "These tired wings are falling" shows they are ready to give up, "I need you to catch me" means that they need help and need support because they cannot get through it alone.

I think this song is about someone who's struggling to feel okay, and wants to give up but is trying not to for someone who helps them through it and who makes them feel cared about. "hold me now, till the fear is leaving. I am barely breathing. Crying out, these tired wings are falling, I need you to catch me." talking about someone, needing to be saved by them again, from what they're mentally suffering of. I don't know, that's what I think. This song is pretty relatable for me and my close friend who's the only person who can help me cope with depression. I might be wrong but I dunno.
