[verse 1]
I had that stupid dream again
Where I meet my end
on the top of a car on the 90
In my hands I hold all of my favorite things,
1 by 1 they fall behind me.
Is this some kinda cheap metaphor
for the way I live?
I haven't had a chance to process it
So I hold on, for dear life
Hold on tonight

[chorus]
Pa-pah pa-pah, hold on, hold on
Pa-pah pa-pah, hold on, hold on
Just hold on tonight

[verse 2]
I sway and shove to the meter of
one thousand cars at full speed
I know deep within me that I'm still asleep
But my brain won't tell my body
It feels like a subconscious revenge
For the the way I've lived
I haven't had a chance to process it
So I hold on, to my sheets
I hold on tonight

[bridge]
To say I already knew the way
to get my mind off of you anyway
In a way I don't want to
In a way it's all that I needed to say

(You best believe)
(it's happening before you know it)
Just hold on tonight
