Hold The Line Lyrics
It's not in the way that you hold me
It's not in the way you say you care
It's not in the way you've been treatin' my friends
It's not in the way that you stay'd till the end
It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do
Hold the line
Love isn't always on time
Hold the line
Love isn't always on time
It's not in the words that you told me
It's not in the way you say you're mine
It's not in the way that you came back to me
It's not in the way that your love set me free
It's not in trhe way you look or the things that you say that you'll do
Hold the line
Love isn't always on time
Hold the line
Love isn't always on time
It's not in the words that you told me
It's not in the way you say you're mine
It's not in the way that you came back to me
It's not in the way that your love set me free
It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do
Hold the line
Love isn't always on time
Hold the line
Love isn't always on time
Hold the line
Love isn't always on time
Hold the line
Love isn't always on time
Love isn't always on time
Love isn't always on time
Love isn't always on time
Whoah-ooh-ooh
It's not in the way you say you care
It's not in the way you've been treatin' my friends
It's not in the way that you stay'd till the end
It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do
Love isn't always on time
Hold the line
Love isn't always on time
It's not in the way you say you're mine
It's not in the way that you came back to me
It's not in the way that your love set me free
It's not in trhe way you look or the things that you say that you'll do
Love isn't always on time
Hold the line
Love isn't always on time
It's not in the way you say you're mine
It's not in the way that you came back to me
It's not in the way that your love set me free
It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do
Love isn't always on time
Hold the line
Love isn't always on time
Hold the line
Love isn't always on time
Hold the line
Love isn't always on time
Love isn't always on time
Love isn't always on time
Love isn't always on time
Whoah-ooh-ooh

You my friend, have your way with words.

@JayCeezy Perfect! This is my current situation. I have a man who is all but in love with me. I am not there. I think he's amazing. He's wonderful. And "it all looks great on paper" but my heart isn't there. I am not in love with him and don't feel I am even close to it. And yes, I have been on the other side. In love with him and on paper, we did look great. But he wasn't in love with me the same way.

@JayCeezy yes been there, done that. It didn't end too pretty most of the time. I would say my husband and I did this when we first got together though, so I would say it did finally work in the end but we both at least knew that the other was smitten and so were we. That was the difference. Sometimes love can be complicated and holding the line during the rough patches has worked out so far. Only time will tell if it will continue to. I do love this song and it's honesty.

To edit my previous comment: "Love isn't always on time" can be very true. A year ago, this man was in love with me and I wasn't there yet. Fast forward a year and with time, I did eventually catch up. Not without some ups and downs with my feelings. He recently moved in with me and I am very much in love with him. It was just on MY time and not his. Often times, love doesn't happen for both people at the exact same time but it can happen with time. ...

It doesn't always end badly. Sometimes, there is a happy ending.
@JayCeezy That was one of the best song explanations I've ever read, thanks a lot ! I think I lived something like that a long time ago, or it resembled that...

@JayCeezy I would love to know what this comment said. I am currently resonating hard with this song and it sounds like your interpretation was very well said.

This song is fantastic!! just listen to that guitar!
This song is purely about cruising in Las Venturas listening to K-DST. Because good music never gets old, just cough dusty.
@DassJennir amen to that brother <3 <3

Awesome song, that guitar backing is magnificent.
the song is talking about love and timing. clearly. its saying that it might take time for love to come but it will come. not right away and you might have to wait or "hold the line" but love perseveres through all and shows its face when the time is right. thats what the song is about.
This song is my favorite toto song. The intro with the piano and drums, then guitar is sooooo sweet.
awesome song
I love this song, and believe that it has been overlooked as a love song of its era.
i love this song and toto.. music like this is beatiful and all music should be like this..... not like music now which is just a fad
Contrary to popular beliefs, i do agree that this song has been overlooked as a love song of its era, Lukasa.
