verse 1 Holding my head For the last of race Pushing my body To get that embrace It won’t last Hold on fast It won’t last Hold on fast verse 2 Breathing in time So hard to trace Crushing your skull With my warming embrace It won’t last Hold on fast It won’t last Hold on fast verse 3 I fell down the stairs I wished I were dead You ran toward the light He handed me your head It won’t last Hold on fast It won’t last Hold on fast
