Hold on Me Lyrics


I can hold my tongue for years, I don't mind
For in the night time silent I recite thousands of poems about you
Until one of them comes true
I can hold my breath for years, I won't get blue
One sweet sigh from you
In my memories the breath of life baptizes me through
Till the air is clear enough to breathe around you
I'll keep holding onSuch a thrill when you're near
But a staggering feat
Holding still when I feel
I can hear my heartbeat, your love may never flow my way
Still I'm gonna keep holding onShouldn't I just let go
Since there's nothing left to do
Time just melts away and the current grows stronger
Pulling me downstream toward you
But until my love runs dry
I'm gonna keep holding on
Holding on, I can't help myself when you're near

My head goes wild and my heart beats like an eager child
I keep holding on, holding on

Born in 1984, bassist, singer and composer Esperanza Spalding began playing in small jazz and blues venues around her hometown of Portland, Oregon. Soon after picking up the acoustic bass at the late age of 14, she helped form Noise for Pretend, an eclectic band fusing jazz and pop for which she sang and played bass (often simultaneously). The group signed with indie rock imprint Hush Records, which released two albums of their original compositions.
