We're About 9 - Hold Me Up lyrics

caught me staring at the moon we're all held captive by the light it's the start of winter now all the kids will call the night nervous glances at the star cold sky three or four will flicker out something still they don't understand how we all can hear their sounds hold me up until the sunrise hold me up one last time we will wait for the sign some generations come with trust out of windows stare their eyes how their dreams do fill with stardust hold me up until the sunrise hold me up one last time don't you ask me all these questions i can't help you anyway you don't want to know the answers i know you'll come to find them someday precocious child with tender hands you tucked her tightly into bed nestled in blankets with tangled hair all the things she never said caught her staring at the starlight caught her palying along holding shaky little hands up caught her singing their song hold me up until the sunrise hold me up one last time don't you ask me all these questions i can't help you anyway you don't want to know the answers i know you'll come to find them someday
