"Holding On To You" lyrics

It's always after midnight, the world is barely breathing
You and all the fools you've known, your ghosts are close to leaving
Open up the window, let them out into the night
They won't make it easy, they won't leave without a fight
Won't leave without a fight

It's always after midnight, the dark has got to give
Waiting for the light to fill the spaces where they live
Voices you remember, faces you once knew
Are you holding on to them or are they holding on to you?
Holding on to you

Yeah, you won't know if you're near them even if you could
Closer, can you hear them, hear 'em like you should
It's past the time to face it, they're with you in the room
Are you holding on to them or are they holding on
Holding on to you?

It's dark down by the river, sounds like something's screaming
Pretty sure you've gone to bed wishing you were dreaming
Open up the window, believe it if you can
You gotta wonder if it'd help to hold your head down in your hands
Hold your head down in your hands
Hold your head down in your hands

Yeah, you won't know if you're near them even if you could
Closer, can you hear them, hear 'em like you should
It's past the time to face it, they're with you in the room
Are you holding on to them or are they holding on
Holding on to you?

Are they holding onto you?

Yeah, you won't know if you're near them even if you could
Closer, can you hear them, hear 'em like you should
It's past the time to face it, they're with you in the room
Are you holding on to them or are they holding on
Holding on to you?
