Say It Like You Mean It – Nova Bexley

Verse

Six a.m. and the light's on gold

Kitchen tile cold under my toes

Radio's playing that same guitar riff

I turn it up loud, I don't let it drift

Got your voice like a coin in my pocket

Flip it, catch it, I won't drop it

This is the kind of morning I want to keep

So I'm not closing my eyes to sleep

Pre-Chorus

How do you bottle up a Tuesday

Make it last past next July

Tell me how you hold a heartbeat

Before it says goodbye

Chorus

I'm holding on to this feeling

Both hands, knuckles white on the wheel

I'm holding on to this feeling

Long as it's real, I'm gonna hold it real

Don't care if it's just a minute

I'm not letting go, gonna live in it

I'm holding on, holding on to this feeling

Verse

Text message screenshots, ticket stub too

Perfume on my scarf still smells like you

I'm building a shrine out of ordinary things

Straws and receipts and rubber bands, rings

They say it won't last, say nothing does

Well watch me prove them wrong, just because

I got a jar full of fireflies lit

Every time it dims I'm shaking it

Pre-Chorus

How do you bottle up a Tuesday

Make it last past next July

Tell me how you hold a heartbeat

Before it says goodbye

Chorus

I'm holding on to this feeling

Both hands, knuckles white on the wheel

I'm holding on to this feeling

Long as it's real, I'm gonna hold it real

Don't care if it's just a minute

I'm not letting go, gonna live in it

I'm holding on, holding on to this feeling

Bridge

Maybe it fades like ink in the rain

Maybe tomorrow it won't feel the same

But right now it's mine, it's loud, it's true

And I'd rather burn bright than turn to blue

So watch me run with it, arms out wide

Chasing the sun 'til the whole sky's mine

Chorus

I'm holding on to this feeling

Both hands, knuckles white on the wheel

I'm holding on to this feeling

Long as it's real, I'm gonna hold it real

Don't care if it's just a minute

I'm not letting go, gonna live in it

I'm holding on, holding on to this feeling
