Hold The Girl

Reach inside and hold you close

I won't leave you on your own

Teach me the words I used to know

Yeah, I forgot 'em long ago

So hold the girl

Hold the girl

Hold the girl

Hold the girl

Hold that girl

Hold that girl

Hold that girl

Sometimes, I get down with guilt

For the promises I've broken to my younger self

Moving on, maybe l never will

'Cause I left you spinning on the carousel

Been living without you

Been living without you

Reach inside and hold you close

I won't leave you on your own

Teach me the words I used to know

Yeah, l forgot 'em long ago

I wanna remember

She is me, and I am her

So hold the girl

Hold the girl

(You gotta) hold that girl

(You gotta) hold that girl

(You gotta) hold that girl

(You gotta)

Sometimes, I just wanna run away

Leave behind that old me, start again

Then, I remember who l'm really made of (who I'm made of)

And she's been hide-and-seeking, waiting all along

Been living without you

Been living without you, oh

Reach inside and hold you close

I won't leave you on your own

Teach me the words I used to know

Yeah, l forgot 'em long ago

I wanna remember

She is me, and I am her

So hold the girl

Hold the girl

Close to your heart

Never ever let her go (never let you go)

They'll tell you to sit up, and shut up, and grow up

What the hell do they know? (Hold her in your soul)

'Cause the girl in your soul's seen it all

And you owe her the world

So hold the girl

Hold the girl

Reach inside and hold you close

I won't leave you on your own

Teach me the words I used to know

Yeah, l forgot about 'em so long ago

Reach inside and hold you close

I won't leave you on your own

Teach me the words I used to know

Yeah, l forgot 'em long ago

I wanna remember

She is me, and I am her

So hold the girl

Hold the girl
