Holding On To You
Embracing Fading Memories: A Love's Resilience
Lyrics
I feel like it's over, I feel like it's done
The speaker feels that a relationship is coming to an end.
Feel like I remember a part of you that's gone
They recall a part of the person they loved that seems to have changed or disappeared.
This love of ours is futile, this love will never hold
The speaker believes their love is pointless and won't last.
We have spent our nights out, memories lost
They've spent time together, but memories of those moments are fading.
Summer nights
Reference to enjoyable nights during summer.
All spend close to you
They were physically close to the person during those nights.
Sooth my soul
Being with this person brought comfort or peace.
As I'm holding on to you
The speaker is desperately trying to hold onto the relationship.
I know that it's over, but I want you to know
Although acknowledging it's ending, they want the person to understand something.
We'll always have that night spend in the town of love
Referencing a significant night shared in a place associated with love.
Fireplace was burning and we were singing songs
They recall a moment by the fireplace, singing together.
Poignant 'cause we sang there 'let her go'
The choice of the song they sang ("let her go") holds emotional significance, possibly reflecting the situation.
Summer nights
Reiteration of enjoyable summer nights.
All spend close to you
Again, they were physically close to the person during those nights.
Sooth my soul
Being with this person brought comfort or peace (repeated sentiment).
As I'm holding on to you
The speaker is clinging to the person despite the inevitable end.
I can't let it go
Repetition emphasizes the inability to let go of this person (and possibly the memories associated with them).
I can't let her go
-I can't let it go
-I can't let her go
-I can't let it go
-I can't let her go
-I can't let her go
-I can't let her
-Go
Final insistence on the difficulty of letting the person go.
