Lyrics

Hold Tight

Baby, the sun sets different now
I can't take it
When you get close and say you're down
Oh, honey

Hold tight, they can't tell me
What I see when I look in your eyes
It's your sweet words keeping me alive

Nightly, as we walk down that bright-lit street
I get to think a thing what tender-hearted day made us meet
Oh, I need you to

Hold tight, they can't tell me
How you put the stars back in my sky
It's your sweet words keepin' me alive

Your light is as warm as the sunshine
Blazing down on the twist of our grapevine
Talking shit in the grass would be just fine, my baby
My baby

Look at what you do here
Starstruck like a sugared kid
Call me when you want
To get a Coke and sit on the wall
I need you to

Hold tight, they can't tell me
How you put the stars back in the sky
It's your sweet words keeping me alive

Your light is as warm as the sunshine
Blazing down on the twist of our grapevine
Talking shit in the grass would be just fine
My baby

Your light is as warm as the sunshine
Blazing down on the twist of our grapevine
Talking shit in the grass would be just fine, my baby
Baby
