Hold on to the feeling 2

Verse

Fires burning, streets are quiet too

Every window in the whole block is lit for you

Your scarf still hangs where it fell that night

I keep on turning every light I find into a spark to hold onto this feeling

Your hands were made of cold and mine was gold

Together we held what winter never lets go

Cans are rusted, snowflakes are rare

But I'm holding fast to the air you breathed here

Pre-Chorus

So how do I keep this in my chest?

How do I tell my heart to rest?

It's not just a season or a name

This is something that refuses to wane

Chorus

Hold on to the feeling, hold it in your hands

Don't let it fade before it finds its way back through these streets again

We said goodbye like we'd never say it twice

But I'm still holding onto every spark of this

Hold on to the feeling, don't let it go

I'll keep on keeping till it shows up at my door again

No snowflake is too small, no ember's lost its light

I'll hold onto the feeling, 'til you come back in sight

Verse 2

Frost on the windowpane, your shadow still runs through

Bare trees standing where our footprints used to be and rue

I keep on putting up every string of lights I find

Hoping that this year will be the one where I leave winter behind

Your voice was like a wind-chime singing in my ear

Every time you said goodbye it only made me hold onto it tighter here

Cans are rusted, streets are empty white

But your eyes still shine like stars burning through the night

Pre-Chorus

So how do I keep this in my chest?

How do I tell my heart to rest?

It's not just a season or a name

This is something that refuses to wane

Chorus

Hold on to the feeling, hold it in your hands

Don't let it fade before it finds its way back through these streets again

We said goodbye like we'd never say it twice

But I'm still holding onto every spark of this

Hold on to the feeling, don't let it go

I'll keep on keeping till it shows up at my door again

No snowflake is too small, no ember's lost its light

I'll hold onto the feeling, 'til you come back in sight

Bridge

Maybe I'm not holding it for you

Maybe this whole thing was meant to be something new

Not a goodbye but a hello in disguise

And maybe that's why these lights are still lit in my eyes

Chorus

Hold on to the feeling, hold it in your hands

Don't let it fade before it finds its way back through these streets again

We said goodbye like we'd never say it twice

But I'm still holding onto every spark of this

Hold on to the feeling, don't let it go

I'll keep on keeping till it shows up at my door again

No snowflake is too small, no ember's lost its light

I'll hold onto the feeling, 'til you come back in sight
