Holding Fast
Holding Fast: Navigating Life's Turbulence Through Love
Lyrics
Living on the edge, drifting away
Expressing a sense of living on the edge and drifting away.
With everything I do and say
Acknowledging that actions and words play a role in the drifting feeling.
I can feel it slipping through my hands
Feeling a loss of control as things slip away.
I been trying to slow down, but it ain't much use
Attempting to slow down in a fast-paced town but facing challenges.
In a town that plays it fast and loose
Describing the town as fast and loose, emphasizing instability.
It's shaky ground, no matter where I stand
Highlighting the shaky and uncertain nature of the current situation.
I keep saying it'll be fine
Expressing optimism and assurance that everything will be fine.
All I gotta do is keep walking that line
Emphasizing the importance of staying on the right path.
But sometimes, I can't see it anymore
Admitting moments of doubt and losing sight of the right path.
So, you can get mad and scream and shout
Accepting the potential for conflict but asking not to be abandoned.
And you can curse my name, just don't walk out
Requesting emotional expression without leaving the relationship.
Cause I need you like I never have before
Expressing a heightened need for the partner.
Can you help me hold fast, try to keep sight?
Seeking assistance to hold onto the relationship and maintain focus.
Straighten up, fly right?
Asking for guidance to stay on the right path.
Can we double down on what we know is true?
Proposing a joint commitment to what is known to be true.
Can you help me stop jerking back and forth?
Seeking support to stop the back-and-forth struggles.
Start searching for true north?
Expressing a desire to find a stable direction.
Wanna make it last, so I'm holding fast to you
Expressing commitment to making the relationship last.
I get tired, trying to make it through
Admitting to feeling tired and trying to avoid impacting the partner negatively.
I don't want to take it out on you
Expressing a desire not to take frustration out on the partner.
So, I hit the ground running from it all
Choosing to run away from problems but eventually coming back.
I come back, but I don't explain
Returning without providing an explanation for actions.
I just try to make you feel my pain
Trying to convey emotional pain without verbalizing it.
And I treat you like the safest place to fall
Viewing the partner as a safe haven to express vulnerability.
It ain't right, but you wear it well
Acknowledging that the partner handles the situation well.
I know it hurts, but you sure can't tell
Recognizing the partner's strength despite the pain.
You're so much stronger than I'll ever be
Admiring the partner's resilience and strength.
You shouldn't have to take it all in stride
Arguing that the partner shouldn't bear everything alone.
You shouldn't have to keep it all inside
Encouraging the partner to express emotions rather than keeping them inside.
You ought to have a little help from me
Stating that the speaker should provide support to the partner.
Still, you help me hold fast, try to keep sight
Reiterating the need for mutual support and staying on the right path.
Straighten up, fly right
Reemphasizing the importance of flying right and staying focused.
Let's double down on what we know is true
Advocating for a shared commitment to what is known to be true.
Can you help me stop jerking back and forth?
Asking for assistance in ending the back-and-forth struggles.
Start searching for true north?
Expressing a desire to find a stable and true direction.
Wanna make it last, so I'm holding fast to you
Reaffirming the commitment to making the relationship last.
I Wanna make it last, so I'm holding fast to you
Repeating the commitment to holding fast to the partner.
