Hold Whatcha Got
Embracing Love's Return: Hold What You've Got by The String Cheese Incident
Lyrics
Hold what you've got, I'm coming home baby
Expresses the urgency and desire to return home to someone.
Hold what you've got and I don't mean maybe
Emphasizes the determination to return home without uncertainty.
Been thinking about you and I'm on my way
Confirms the contemplation about the person while on the way back.
Don't sell the house, don't wreck the car
Instructions not to make major decisions in the absence.
Stay there honey, right where you are
Encouragement to stay put, indicating imminent return.
Hold what you've got, I'm coming home to stay
Reiterates the intent to return and stay.
Hold what you've got, I'm coming home baby
Repeated expression of the eagerness to return home.
Hold what you've got and I don't mean maybe
Reaffirms the certainty of returning.
Been thinking about you and I'm on my way
Reiterates the thoughts about the person while en route.
Don't sell the house, don't wreck the car
Continued advice against making significant decisions.
Stay there honey, right where you are
Encouragement to maintain the status quo until arrival.
Hold what you've got, I'm coming home to stay
Restates the commitment to return permanently.
In my mind, I can see it's a mighty good sign now that I need
Recognition of a positive sign or feeling about the impending return.
That's why I can't wait to get back home
Eager anticipation to get back home due to a sensed need.
So squeeze yourself real good and tight
Encouragement for the person to await arrival with readiness.
And I'll be home before daylight
Promise to return before dawn if the person holds on.
If you hold what you've got I'm coming home to stay
Reiteration of the intent to return for a lasting stay.
When I get back, baby I ain't leavin', been too lonely
Commitment to not leave again due to past loneliness.
Little, too much grievin'
Admission of experiencing too much sorrow in the absence.
When I get back, this time I'm going to stay
Assurance of staying for a prolonged period upon return.
We won't fuss, we won't fight, this time things are going
Promise of a peaceful and harmonious time upon return.
To be alright
Belief that things will be fine this time around.
So hold what you've got I'm coming home to stay
Reaffirmation of the intention to return and stay.
When I get back, baby I ain't leavin', been too lonely
Repeated commitment to not leave due to loneliness.
Little, too much grievin'
Reiteration of experiencing excessive grief during absence.
When I get back, this time I'm going to stay
Commitment to a prolonged stay upon return.
We won't fuss, we won't fight, this time things are going
Expectation of a peaceful and conflict-free time together.
To be alright
Belief that things will be better this time.
So hold what you've got I'm coming home to stay
Reaffirmation of the intent to return permanently.
When I get back, baby I ain't leavin', been too lonely
Repeated commitment to not leave due to loneliness.
