Hard to hold
Bluesy alt-rock vibe, mid-tempo groove, introspective lyrics, themes of isolation, lost direction, and quiet struggle. Poetic, moody, with subtle psychedelic edge.

Lyrics
Verse 1
She walks like the truth, talks like a dare
Leaves perfume and questions hangin' in the air
Says she’s stayin’ then she’s out by dawn
Like a stolen car that you left turned on
Chorus
She’s hard to hold, like a note too high
Like smoke in your hand or a runaway lie
You think you’ve caught her, but you’re losin’ the fight
She’s hard to hold and gone by night
Verse 2
Saw her in Tulsa, boots on the bar
Laughin’ like trouble wrapped in a scar
Took my number, never gave hers back
Left a lipstick mark on a paper sack
Chorus
She’s hard to hold, like a note too high
Like smoke in your hand or a runaway lie
You think you’ve caught her, but you’re losin’ the fight
She’s hard to hold and gone by night
Bridge
I’ve chased her name through motel books
Heard old songs in the way she looks
But you can’t catch wind in a wire fence
She leaves, and it all makes sense
Chorus
She’s hard to hold, like a note too high
Like smoke in your hand or a runaway lie
You think you’ve caught her, but you’re losin’ the fight
She’s hard to hold and gone by night
