[Verse 1]
You found me bent in the doorway
With rain in my sleeves and dust on my name
I wore that old grin like armor
You saw right through all the same
I kept my hands in my pockets
Like I could hide what was breaking apart
You said, "Stand up a little taller"
Then you put fire back in my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
And I, I felt the room lean in
When you said my name like that
I, I was half gone
Till you pulled me all the way back
[Chorus]
Hold me up
Hold me up
When the whole world tilts
Hold me up
Hold me up
You know how my heartbeat feels
(Oh-oh) stay right here
(Oh-oh) don't let go
Hold me up
Hold me up
And I won't fold
[Verse 2]
Now the plates on the table are shining
Your laugh runs wild through the line of the night
Your coat on the chair by the window
Makes this old room feel alive
I still get lost in the panic
Still hear that small voice saying "run"
But you make a bridge out of silence
And you make a home out of none
[Pre-Chorus]
And I, I felt the room lean in
When you said my name like that
I, I was half gone
Till you pulled me all the way back
[Chorus]
Hold me up
Hold me up
When the whole world tilts
Hold me up
Hold me up
You know how my heartbeat feels
(Oh-oh) stay right here
(Oh-oh) don't let go
Hold me up
Hold me up
And I won't fold
[Bridge]
If I shake, you steady me
If I break, you don't look away
You make a hard life look easy
You make the dark side fade
Take my doubt
Take my fear
Sing it low
And keep me here
[Final Chorus]
Hold me up
Hold me up
When the whole world tilts
Hold me up
Hold me up
You know how my heartbeat feels
(Oh-oh) stay right here
(Oh-oh) don't let go
Hold me up
Hold me up
And I won't fold
