Hold On Lyrics
Stop, take it in and I
Breathe for a minute, I
Think too much when I'm alone
I never win when I
Keep all my thoughts inside
So I'll pick up the phone
And my dad says "Shawn, stay with me
Everything will be alright
I know I haven't seen you lately
But you're always on my mind
I don't know what you're going through
But there's so much life ahead of you
And it won't slow down, no matter what you do
So you just gotta hold on, all we can do is hold on"
These days are flying by
Weeks feel like minutes, I
Can't remember being small
I'll try to figure it out
I can't seem to find out how
I guess I don't know much at all
And my dad says "Shawn, stay with me
Everything will be alright
I know I haven't seen you lately
But you're always on my mind
I don't know what you're going through
But there's so much life ahead of you
And it won't slow down, no matter what you do
So you just gotta hold on, all we can do is hold on
All we can do is hold on, yeah you just gotta hold on
Just hold on, just hold on for me"
And my dad says "Shawn, stay with me
Everything will be alright
I don't know what you're going through
But there's so much life ahead of you
And it won't slow down, no matter what you do
So you just gotta hold on, all we can do is hold on
Yeah you just gotta hold on, just hold on for me"
Breathe for a minute, I
Think too much when I'm alone
I never win when I
Keep all my thoughts inside
So I'll pick up the phone
Everything will be alright
I know I haven't seen you lately
But you're always on my mind
I don't know what you're going through
But there's so much life ahead of you
And it won't slow down, no matter what you do
So you just gotta hold on, all we can do is hold on"
Weeks feel like minutes, I
Can't remember being small
I'll try to figure it out
I can't seem to find out how
I guess I don't know much at all
Everything will be alright
I know I haven't seen you lately
But you're always on my mind
I don't know what you're going through
But there's so much life ahead of you
And it won't slow down, no matter what you do
So you just gotta hold on, all we can do is hold on
All we can do is hold on, yeah you just gotta hold on
Just hold on, just hold on for me"
Everything will be alright
I don't know what you're going through
But there's so much life ahead of you
And it won't slow down, no matter what you do
So you just gotta hold on, all we can do is hold on
Yeah you just gotta hold on, just hold on for me"
