Hanging On

VERSE 1
We’re just the end of a sentence 
A lingering question 
What do I do with myself when you’re gone?

We’re just the end of a moment 
An old kind of notion 
A cadence of words laying out on the lawn 

PRE CHORUS 
So how are you still the focus?
In all the commotion? 

CHORUS 
There’s barely a line but I’m still hanging on 
I try not to love you 
I don’t want to but I’m still hanging on 
You’re there in the rearview 
And you’re fading but I’m still hanging on 

VERSE 2
We’re just the end of a ringtone 
A call straight to voicemail 
The end of an era the end of it all 

We’re just a piece at the art show 
The one no one takes home 
A patchwork of pieces that never belonged 

PRE CHORUS 2
So why am I in a chokehold? 
So heavy and hollow 

CHORUS 
There’s barely a line but I’m still hanging on 
I try not to love you 
I don’t want to but I’m still hanging on 
You’re there in the rearview 
And you’re fading but I’m still hanging on 

BRIDGE 
No matter where I run to
No matter where you are 
I’ll run til I can’t feel you 
Run right back in your arms 

I’ll love you ‘til I bleed out
My lungs will fall apart 
I’ll hang on ‘til my last breath 
You’ll fade into the dark

I’ll love you ‘til I get there
You’ll wear me like a scar 
A distant kind of memory
A sweater overworn 

And we’ll amount to nothing
I guess that’s what we are, 
The ending of an era 

CHORUS 
But I’m still hanging on 
I try not to love you 
I don’t want to but I’m still hanging on 
You’re there in the rearview 
And you’re fading but I’m still hanging on
