Story Behind The Song

Sometimes when you are in the darkest periods of your life, you know nothing can really change what's happening right now. But if you have someone who just holds you until you can get yourself back together, that's all you need. They are that lifeline that gets you to the next step. There's nothing magic about it. Just their closeness, the security of their arms around you. That can make everything okay. For a minute. For long enough.

Song Description

Everything seems to be falling apart. I feel lost. Hold me and keep me safe. I'm doubting everything around me. I know that you holding me right now isn't going to change anything. It will all be the same afterwards. But right now you can give me the strength to go on; the strength to get through this dark time. Hold me, even when you're scared too.

Lyrics

You whisper it feels like it's over
I'm not sure myself
in the darkness, I only feel trembling
I'm afraid, nothing else
a negative burns an image through teardrops
everything I was rearranged in my mind
close my eyes and it all becomes distant
need your touch as my guide

Chorus
would you hold me just a little bit longer because
my knees are starting to shake
nothing feels right
it's a blow to my being
but I can't stop believing
that in your arms I will be safe

eyes are opened; the world is uncertain
tears answer the drought
flash of fire, fear resignation
my moment of doubt
I don't need to hear that the morning will change me
don't try to fool me that it's clear at daylight
your embrace though, it feeds me courage
and my darkness subsides

Chorus
would you hold me just a little bit longer because
my knees are starting to shake
nothing feels right
it's a blow to my being
but I can't stop believing
that in your arms I will be safe

Bridge
you say hold me too

Chorus
would you hold me just a little bit longer because
my knees are starting to shake
nothing feels right
it's a blow to my being
but I can't stop believing
that in your arms I will be safe
