Hold My Hold (Version 2)

Verse 1

Palm trees shaking overhead in time

The crowd is three deep at the door, we're pushing in

Your shoulder pressed against mine, and I don't want this to end

Red sand between your toes like we owned it all again

Sparks on the mirror ball, neon bleeding through my lens

You laugh so hard you almost fall, and I catch you by surprise

This is how we learned to dance without a song playing in our heads

And every stranger's smile turns into a friend we've never met

So don't say it's too late yet, keep your hands up high

Cause the night is counting down for us like a countdown sign

We're running on the clock's last tick, burning out our light

But I wouldn't trade this moment for anything in sight

Pre-Chorus

Hold my hold, hold it tight

The sky turns orange and we take flight

Into the afterglow where stars collide with us tonight

Hold my hold, hold it tight

Nothing else is right, only you shine bright

So catch me if I'm falling apart at 3 A.M.

Catch me before my heart lands hard

Chorus

We're counting down the final hour

Dust on our feet and nothing to prove now

Hold my hand and hold it tight

Because when the clock stops running, we will not say goodbye tonight

We're counting down the final hour

Every second feels like an eternity of gold

So hold me close till the hands turn still in their place

Counting down, counting down, counting us right into place

Verse 2

Tide is pulling back to sea

We chase every wave and you are chasing me

The moon dips low behind a mountain made of light

And I swear this will be the only night we get it just right

A firework exploding in your eyes

I grab for your hand, and you don't ask why

You let me take us flying like there's no tomorrow left to live

Strangers around us are holding hands and praying for a sign

This is how I know that every star out here has come to line up just right

So hold on tight to what we're making in this hour

We can be the reason why the whole sky turns gold for 4 A.M.

And I'll never let go of you if it means we get one more day to live like this tonight

Pre-Chorus

Hold my hold, hold it tight

The clock is winding down and I want your eyes on mine

We're making memories with every passing minute in time

So catch me when the hands finally stop running around

And let's turn 3 A.M. into a second that never ends around

Catch me if I fall apart at the seams of this night

Chorus

We're counting down the final hour

Dust on our feet and nothing to prove now

Hold my hand and hold it tight

Because when the clock stops running, we will not say goodbye tonight

We're counting down the final hour

Every second feels like an eternity of gold

So hold me close till the hands turn still in their place

Counting down, counting down, counting us right into place

Bridge

No alarm is ringing this morning

The only thing we have left to lose is our fear of growing old together

So let's break free from every rule that says a sunset has a deadline
