Hold on for Me

Nine years old, under the covers

Monsters underneath the bed

I saw something in the shadows

Mama told me it's all in my head

If I wrote myself a letter

I'd tell myself everything's alright

I'd say there's nothing in a nightmare

There'll be no such things

As ghosts come morning light

If I could lay there right beside me

I'd find the light and turn it on

Say you'll turn into somebody

Find a place where you belong

If you just

Hold on

If you just

Hold on

For me

If I could go back to the bus stop

Where they pushed me to ground

Oooh I would

Teach myself to throw some punches

And watch them bullies all fall down

Say you'll turn into somebody

Ooh yeah

Find a place where you belong

If you just

Hold on

If you just

Hold on

You'll grow up to be stronger

Grow up to be brave

Learn how to let go of what people say

Learn how to fall down, get up again

You'll win and you'll lose

And you'll make some mistakes

Hold on

If you just

Hold on

For me

Yeah, yeah

If you just

Hold on

If you just

Hold on hold on

Hold on for me

For me
