about

Not everything makes sense. Hold onto what you've got

lyrics

I don't believe in magic
My soul is tied to something in the sky, so soon
Like a lunar addict
I always set my sights upon the gun-shy moon

And my bad behavior
When my mind deploys just like a parachute
There's a revelator
Like an apple falling from the great big blue
But it don't fall far

I just don't want to live like I used to do
Always looking on back upon the better old days
Like there's something I knew that I somehow forgot
But I never know how to get back to the start

There's a subtle engagement
Someone's trying to convince me that I'll always belong
But every time that I try can't seem to figure it out
It's just the same old song that I’ve been singing to you

Maybe now is the time that I can just coincide
With the bright new moon
I think that you ought to know that I'm entirely aware

You could tell me I have some issues
And it wouldn't be something new
I'm believing in one that’s different
Someone's telling me I'll pull through

And I know the one thing
I know the one thing I'll do
I know the one thing
I'm just gonna hold on to you
I’m just gonna hold on

Such a strange arrangement
I never seem to get more than I have to give
Footprints on the pavement
Remind me where I've been and how I have to live

Like a stained-glass window
The colors all divide into their separate parts
I'm not looking in though
I've found a way inside to steal a million hearts
But it's never all

Because I just don't want to live like I used to do
Always looking on back upon the better old days
Like there's something I knew that I somehow forgot
But I never know how to get back to the start

It's a subtle engagement
Someone's trying to convince me that I'll always belong
But every time that I try can't seem to figure it out
It's just the same old song that I’ve been singing to you

Maybe now is the time to finally come alive
Like the bright new moon
I think by now you should know that we’re an optimal pair

Cause you could tell me I have some issues
And it wouldn't be something new
I'm believing in one that’s different
Someone's telling me I'll pull through

I’m in trouble when I’m not with you
I’m incorrigible, it’s true
But I’m depending on something different
So just keep telling me I’ll pull through

And I know the one thing
I know the one thing I'll do
I know the one thing
I'm just gonna hold on to you
