Hold the Fold (वर्ज़न 2)

Verse

Sweat dripping on the collar of my jacket's thread

You're talking low into your cigarette flame

We used to run through this whole block together, every day

Now you're gone but the streets still know our name

Bare feet on the sidewalk where we drew our map

Your laugh still echoes off these same brick walls

I'm holding onto something I never want to let go of

Even when your number stops showing up at all

Pre-Chorus

What if this is just a pause? What if you're not gone?

Can you hear the sirens fading out where we used to belong?

Hold the fold, don't unravel it yet

Hold the fold, let's pretend it's still set

Chorus

Hold the fold, hold the fold

Keep our secret safe and never tell

Hold the fold, keep your heart turned around

We'll find each other again in this same old town

Verse

Mama's cooking dinner on the stove while we talk outside

You're telling me a story that I've heard before but it feels like you made it up tonight

I'm trying to remember what it felt like when your hand touched mine

But the only thing that's holding still is this porch light shining

We used to drive past every exit on the highway sign

Thinking we were running from something, not towards the sun

Now I'm just holding onto the way you smiled at me

Even though you're gone and this whole town is new

Pre-Chorus

What if this is just a pause? What if you're not gone?

Can you hear the sirens fading out where we used to belong?

Hold the fold, don't unravel it yet

Hold the fold, let's pretend it's still set

Chorus

Hold the fold, hold the fold

Keep our secret safe and never tell

Hold the fold, keep your heart turned around

We'll find each other again in this same old town

Bridge

Maybe we weren't running from anything after all

Maybe we just ran to find ourselves before we fall

I'm not asking you to come back, I just need you to stay true

In my memory of what it felt like when me and you were new

Chorus

Hold the fold, hold the fold

Keep our secret safe and never tell

Hold the fold, keep your heart turned around

We'll find each other again in this same old town
