About This Track

‘Hold Tight’ by LAUREL is an alternative track from the album ‘DOGVIOLET’ released in 2018. The lyrics are a pleading, intimate appeal for someone to stay close, with the singer describing physical closeness and a dawning realisation that what they want should be understood. A recurring entreaty, “Hold tight, yeah, hold on to me”, frames the song as devotion under pressure, as they imagine commitment carrying on through change, and promise to keep offering something in return.

Lyrics

Hold Tight

Pray you'll stay and
Fingers on my face
Yeah, when do you know it
'Cause I've known for a while
Since I lied down beside you
And all for a dream
That you'd know exactly what I'd mean

Hold tight, yeah, hold on to me
Hold tight as you run through the seasons
'Cause I'd give you the rest of my love
Hold tight, I'll give you the best of my love

Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Slow me down
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Can't slow me down

Staying up late and
I can't seem to wait for when
You're around again and on the phone
I'm alive with the thought of you beside me and
Oh, though it seems
That you know exactly what I mean

Hold tight, yeah, hold on to me
Hold tight as you run through the seasons
'Cause I'd give you the rest of my love
Hold tight, I'll give you the best of my love

Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Slow me down
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Can't slow me down

Tasted, you like me bittersweet
So maybe you are the one for me
I slowly fall apart, do you like being in control?
'Cause I've been thinking, maybe I'd let you have it all
And I wanna know, is this a way of being
Or just a fleeting feeling inside?

'Cause I'd give you the rest of my love
Yeah, hold tight, I'll give you the best of my love
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Slow me down
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Can't slow me down
