"Hold On A Little More" lyrics

Dive in deep into my psyche
Into undiscovered waters
Had to go back to the old me
So I can hold her like a daughter
Everybody gets a childhood
But did you really get to be a child? Yeah
I never saw me in the mirror
It's been so many years since I've have seen her smile
Hiding in the dark, but I'm climbing out

When the girl starts slipping
The youth goes missing
The world don't spin like before
When your feet start aching
Your dreams keep breaking
Your heart don't beat to your core
You gotta hold on a little more
Uh-uh, you gotta hold on a little more

Let me take you back to '93
In a small town
I was born to always flee the planted roots
Of immigrant childhood
I found a place between the fight and flight
Honestly, I never thought I would
I'm setting myself free from the musts and shoulds

When the girl starts slipping
The youth goes missing
The world don't spin like before
When your feet start aching
Your dreams keep breaking
Your heart don't beat to your core
You gotta hold on a little more
Uh-uh, you gotta hold on a little more

Like a mother and child
Like the youth and their lovers
Like a bird in the sky
You gotta hold on a little more
