The Nadas - Hold On
You're stuck to the bust 
It's steaming steaming 
Pull back your hair 
With half a picture of us 
You're leaving leaving
You're only half way there
On a string around your neck
He's admiring my ring
Caught in a sidelong stare 
Every minute you check 
Without thinking thinking 
To see if it's still there 
It is and
Hold on, hold everything
I've stopped breathing 
Hold on, hold on your little ring 
I'll do anything... again
And you dance through my head
We're sinking sinking 
Remember when I cared
You spilled your wine in my bed
We were drinking drinking
It's funny how we were paired here and
Peel yourself off the bus
I'm standing standing
Where you land
With half a picture of us
I'm mending mending
And you take my hand again
Hold on, hold everything
I've stopped breathing 
Hold on, hold on your little ring 
I'll do anything... again

The Nadas - Hold On

You're stuck to the bust

It's steaming steaming

Pull back your hair

With half a picture of us

You're leaving leaving

You're only half way there

On a string around your neck

He's admiring my ring

Caught in a sidelong stare

Every minute you check

Without thinking thinking

To see if it's still there

It is and

Hold on, hold everything

I've stopped breathing

Hold on, hold on your little ring

I'll do anything... again

And you dance through my head

We're sinking sinking

Remember when I cared

You spilled your wine in my bed

We were drinking drinking

It's funny how we were paired here and

Peel yourself off the bus

I'm standing standing

Where you land

With half a picture of us

I'm mending mending

And you take my hand again

Hold on, hold everything

I've stopped breathing

Hold on, hold on your little ring

I'll do anything... again
