[Verse 1]
There's a branch lying still by the ocean
Time goes fast, grab your lover and hold them
It's the same
Oh, the years come rushing back
Yeah, I don't remember that
Stuck at dawn falling fast like the weather
Sing a song in a way that you never did before
Oh, the screens have all gone black
And they won't be coming back

[Chorus]
It's so hard, it's so hard to hold on
It's so hard, it's so hard to hold on
Steady now, it's a long way
Some days just won't go

[Verse 2]
Turn around, don't tell me what I'm missing
I already know, I know what this isn't
Hold it down, just pretend for a minute
Man it crawls, yeah, it crawls when you're in it
Man it crawls, yeah, it crawls when you're in it
Man it crawls, yeah, it crawls when you're in it

[Chorus]
It's so hard, it's so hard to hold on
It's so hard, it's so hard to hold on
It's so hard, it's so hard to hold on
It's so hard, it's so hard to hold on
