Lyrics

hold on

Hold on

Let me turn the light out

The world's on my mind

I'm tired

Next time

This familiar light

Folds up my eyes

I'll try, I'll try

Hold on, hold on

Hold on, hold on

Hold on

I want to be a newborn

Reprise of the child, I'm tired

Green tide

It's the finish line

The words I won't find

I'll try, I'll try
