This songs is touching and mostly obvious in meaning, but I'm confused by the line: "hold on to your lover 'Cause your heart's bound to die"

Any thoughts to what is meant by this?

@david10204 me too. I’m guessing that it means her heart is bound to her town and her growth and experience in that town is his heart.
