"Barely" lyrics

It's been a long, long time
For me
It's been a long, long time
Since I've seen the best in things
Still a part of me
Is waiting patiently
I know it's not healthy
But what can I do

I've been driving alone
Thinking gets to me
And all these thoughts go on
On and on 'bout you and me
And when I think I'm done
And I start wondering
If I'm free from
You and me

It's when I hear you laughing
Even when the joke goes wrong
And I still see you dancing
Even when the song is done
And I'm still trying, trying
To see the way this has to be
But I'm just barely holding on to you
Barely holding on to you

Do you still see me
Do you still feel the way you did
When we'd wake up early
I'd steal the coffee that you'd make
And I swear that it's not by choice
While I can't always hear your voice
Your words still move me
Promise they do

That's when I hear you laughing
Even when the joke goes wrong
And I still see you dancing
Even when the song is done
And I'm still trying, trying
To see the way this has to be
But I'm just barely holding on

And all that I wanna say is I'm fine
And everything's not in place but I'm trying
'Cause every time I hear your name
I'm just back to square one again
I'm just barely holding on

I still hear us laughing
Even when my jokes go wrong
And I still see us dancing
Even when the song is done
And I'm still trying, trying
To see the way this had to be
But I'm just barely holding on
I'm just barely holding on
Forever barely holding on
To you
