lyrics

I'm hiding in the shadows
Not wanting to leave
This water's getting shallow
And I'm in too deep

Can you help me?
Can you help me?

I want to feel the glory
Of us growing old
I'd rather hear the stories
That we've never told

Can you help me?
Will you help me?

Hold on tight
I know that you're scared
To come out at night
And tell me you cared
I understand your worries
But know that I'll be there
To hold on tight
Hold on tight

It wasn't right for me
to walk away without saying goodbye
It doesn't matter if you don't believe me
But I want you to try
So hold on tight

I know I have a record
Of making mistakes
I know that I'm not perfect
Without you I'll break

Can you help me?
Will you help me?

Hold on tight
I know that you're scared
To come out at night
And tell me you cared
I understand your worries
But know that I'll be there
To hold on tight
Hold on tight
