[verse 1] I had that stupid dream again Where I meet my end on the top of a car on the 90 In my hands I hold all of my favorite things, 1 by 1 they fall behind me. Is this some kinda cheap metaphor for the way I live? I haven't had a chance to process it So I hold on, for dear life Hold on tonight [chorus] Pa-pah pa-pah, hold on, hold on Pa-pah pa-pah, hold on, hold on Just hold on tonight [verse 2] I sway and shove to the meter of one thousand cars at full speed I know deep within me that I'm still asleep But my brain won't tell my body It feels like a subconscious revenge For the the way I've lived I haven't had a chance to process it So I hold on, to my sheets I hold on tonight [bridge] To say I already knew the way to get my mind off of you anyway In a way I don't want to In a way it's all that I needed to say (You best believe) (it's happening before you know it) Just hold on tonight
