Psalm 51

I keep saying that Ill write a song about you
But Im still not ready yet
I suppose that I dont really have a reason besides
Im scared that Ill forget
That when I write the perfect chorus on Monday
after your mid-day wake
that this was all a terrible mistake.

Hold on, hold on
just a little while longer
Hold on, hold on
For me
Hold on, hold on
until we all grow stronger
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on...
For me.

So for now Ill write bits and pieces
and save the rest for when Im calm
When I see your sister and all our friends
And we read passages from Psalms
And I hate the thought your headstone
Wont have the space to say
That you rest two blocks from our homes
But it feels like youre a million miles away

Hold on, hold on
just a little while longer
Hold on, hold on
For me
Hold on, hold on
until we all grow stronger
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on...
For me.

I know what it takes to move on
I just wish it wasnt so
And I say that I will be strong
but its out of my control
Theres so much I never said
And so much Ill never show
Sure as sunrise comes at dawn
It is hard to let you go.

Hold on, hold on
just a little while longer
Hold on, hold on
For me
Hold on, hold on
until we all grow stronger
If only we could have had another minute longer..

Hold on, hold on
just a little while longer
Hold on, hold on
For me
Hold on, hold on
until we all grow stronger
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on for me.
