Hold
Love's Resilience: Brii Elliss' Hold Unveils the Endless Dance
Lyrics
Stuck in my feelings but what a waste of time
Expressing being trapped in emotions, considering it a waste of time.
Though it should be the ending, you're always on my mind
Despite the desire for closure, the person is constantly thinking about someone.
You've had hundreds of chances
Noting that the person has had numerous opportunities.
But through it all, the rise and fall, I still come back to you
Despite challenges (rise and fall), there's a persistent return to the person.
I just love the way you hold me like I'm the only
Expressing affection for the way the person holds, making the singer feel unique.
There's nobody else that knows me like you know me
Highlighting an intimate understanding between the singer and the person.
I love the way we both know that this won't last
Acknowledging the impermanence of the relationship, aware it won't last.
But over and over keep winning me back you, you
Despite the temporary nature, the person keeps winning the singer back repeatedly.
Know that it's not the best move to keep letting you in
Recognizing that allowing the person back might not be the wisest decision.
Though I try to forget you, you get underneath my skin
Despite efforts to forget, the person continues to affect the singer emotionally.
On the surface it feels like you're cold as ice
Describing the person as seemingly emotionally distant or unresponsive.
But turn the heat on and you'll start to thaw
Suggesting that the person can open up and become more vulnerable when the situation changes.
I just love the way you hold me like I'm the only
Reiterating the positive feelings about how the person holds the singer.
There's nobody else that knows me like you know me
Emphasizing the unique understanding between the singer and the person.
I love the way we both know that this won't last
Acknowledging the awareness that the relationship is not destined to be long-lasting.
But over and over keep winning me back you, you
Despite knowing it won't last, the person consistently wins the singer back.
Hold me, hold me, ho-ho-ho hold me
Repetition of the desire to be held, indicating a strong emotional need.
Hold me, hold me, ho-ho-ho hold me
-Hold me, hold me, ho-ho-ho hold me
-Me
-I just love the way you hold me like I'm the only
Reiterating the positive emotions associated with how the person holds the singer.
There's nobody else that knows me like you know me
Highlighting the exclusive understanding shared between the singer and the person.
I love the way we both know that this won't last
Acknowledging the temporary nature of the relationship once again.
But over and over keep winning me back you, you
Despite the impermanence, the person repeatedly draws the singer back.
Hold me, hold me, ho-ho-ho hold me
Repetition of the strong desire to be held.
Hold me, hold me, ho-ho-ho hold me
-Hold me, hold me, ho-ho-ho hold me
-Me
