Hold On
country soul, 92 BPM, swung boom bap, syncopated kick-snare, female vocals, gospel harmony stack, baritone sax riffs, steel guitar licks, muted electric piano, fingerpicked acoustic guitar, brushed snare, sub bass underdrive, tape saturation, plate reverb, sparse verse arrangement, lift chorus layers, bittersweet devotion

Lyrics
Verse 1
You walked out fast
Left your coat on the chair
I stood by the door
Like I knew you'd be there
Your name on my tongue
Like a pill I won't swallow
I keep checking the hall
Even when it is hollow
Pre-Chorus
Don't let the moment break
Don't let it slip away
I got one hand open
One hand on yesterday
If you move, I move
If you fall, I stay
Chorus
Hold on
Hold on to me
Hold on
Don't let go so easy
Hold on
Right here, right now
(hold on)
Say it again
And stay around
Verse 2
Your message still glows
On the edge of my screen
Three words and a pause
Between all the mean
I read it too slow
Then I read it again
Like a door in the wind
Like a coin in the drain
Pre-Chorus
Don't let the moment break
Don't let it slip away
I got one hand open
One hand on yesterday
If you move, I move
If you fall, I stay
Chorus
Hold on
Hold on to me
Hold on
Don't let go so easy
Hold on
Right here, right now
(hold on)
Say it again
And stay around
Bridge
Take the weight off
Put it in my hands
We can be shaky
We can still stand
One more breath
One more try
I won't leave you
I won't let this die
Chorus
Hold on
Hold on to me
Hold on
Don't let go so easy
Hold on
Right here, right now
(hold on)
Say it again
And stay around
