Hold Still

Verse 1

Piano and voice, hushed

Three a.m., and you're eight days oldYour whole hand fits around my thumbI used to run from everythingNow I'm begging the sun not to comeI've never been this scared of time

Pre-Chorus

Everybody tells me it goes so fastBlink and you'll be packing up the car

Chorus

Hold still for me, babyJust a little bit longerI'm not done holding youHold still for me, baby

Verse 2

Your mom's asleep and I'm on the floorHumming songs I barely knowI swear I'll be home moreI won't miss a single show

Pre-Chorus

Everybody tells me it goes so fastBlink and you'll be packing up the car

Chorus

Drums and distorted guitar crash in

Hold still for me, babyJust a little bit longerI'm not done holding youHold still for me, baby

Bridge

Everything stops, voice alone

Please don't let me miss a secondPlease don't let me blink

Final Chorus

Full band explodes, screamed falsetto

Hold still for me, babyJust a little bit longerI'm not done holding youHold still for me, babyHold still for me, babyJust a little bit longerI'm not done holding onHold still for me, baby
