[Verse 1]
Home, your head never touched the pillow when you fell asleep
And I, I wanted the truth, but maybe hold back on the honesty
Didn't wanna lose it all, you still came callin'
For the records that you had on my shelf
Could've been the alcohol, a cold rainfall
Makes every day look like the day before
[Pre-Chorus]
And, oh, how long
'Cause it's now or never, not forever
And I would run
But it's lonely weather all December
[Chorus]
And holding on to something
Holding on to something with you
Holding on to something's
The only thing I know how to do
Yeah, I know how to do
[Verse 2]
And don't, don't make it seem like they were promises you couldn't keep
I remember the night in my car when you said this is where you wanna be
Didn't wanna lose it all in the backyard callin'
Sayin', "Come and meet my family"
Oh, I'm tryin' to sleep
But all my fears become reality
[Pre-Chorus]
And, oh, how long
'Cause it's now or never, not forever
And I would run
But it's lonely weather all December
[Chorus]
And holding on to something
Holding on to something with you
Holding on to something's
The only thing I know how to do
Yeah, I know how to do
[Bridge]
And every flower you planted is dead on the frozen ground
And all those bluebirds were singin', but now they're just headin' south
[Chorus]
And I'm holding on to something
Holding on to something with you
Yeah, I'm holding on to something
Holding on to something true
