Jackson Browne - Hold On Hold Out lyrics

Hold on hold out, keep a hold on strong The money's in and the bets are down You won't hold out long They say you'll fall in no time at all But you know they're wrong Known it all along Hold on hold out, keep a hold on still If you don't see what your love is worth No one ever will You've done your time on the bottom line And it ain't no thrill There's got to be something more Keep a hold on still You know what it is you're waiting for Now you just hold on Hold on hold out, hold on Give up your heart and you lose your way Trusting another to feel that way Give up your heart and you find yourself Living for something in somebody else Sometimes you wonder what happens to love Sometimes the touch of a friend is enough Hold a place for the human race Keep it open wide Give it time to fall or climb But let the time decide Sometimes you wonder what's in this for you But you wait, and you see 'cause it's all you can do Just to hold on Hold on hold out, hold on For the countless souls beaten by their goals Keep a hold on now And the ones betrayed by the deals they made Keep a hold on If you hold your ground it'll turn around Keep a hold somehow Hold on hold out, keep a hold on tight Tonights the night Wake up and turn on the light You fight, and you're right-- It's gonna take all your might... You're a hold out Well i'm a hold out too But it took me all this time to figure out Something you already knew Will love be true? can it pull you through? How long? how strong? Somethings depend on you See-- i always figured i was going to meet somebody here And i don't know why Why should love come down and suddenly just sweep me away I want to fly But there are so many things in my way Anyway... I guess you wouldn't know unless i told you But... I love you Well just look at yourself-- What else would i do? Hold on--
