Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I saw the sky split white
Over the grocery lot
A cloud like a dead tree
Growing in one breath
Glass in the road like ice
Dogs gone wild and thin
The radio hissed once
Then the dark rolled in
[Pre-Chorus]
We ran with empty hands
Past the burned-out carts
Past the school bus bones
Past the broken yard
And everybody knew
The old world was gone
So we kept moving on
With our names held low
[Chorus]
Hold on to your name
Hold on to your name
When the ash comes down
Don’t let go of your name
Hold on to your name
Hold on to your name
We can lose the map
But we won’t lose our name
[Verse 2]
Now we trade for water
By the rusted fence
One can for a knife
One cup for a fence
Mumbling strangers sleep
By the shells of homes
We split the last peach
Like it’s gold and bone
I learned which hands to trust
By the way they shake
Who will share their fire
Who will steal your fate
[Pre-Chorus]
We found a girl with fuel
We found a man with salt
We found a woman who
Would not leave her dog
And on the highway spine
Under ash-gray stars
We made a small raft
Out of scraps and scars
[Chorus]
Hold on to your name
Hold on to your name
When the ash comes down
Don’t let go of your name
Hold on to your name
Hold on to your name
We can lose the map
But we won’t lose our name
[Bridge]
If the wolves come close
If the wells run dry
If the night gets mean
And the smoke won’t die
I’ll give you half my coat
You give me your hand
We don’t have much left
But we still can stand
[Final Chorus]
Hold on to your name
Hold on to your name
When the ash comes down
Don’t let go of your name
Hold on to your name
Hold on to your name
We can lose the world
But we won’t lose our name
Hold on to your name
Hold on to your name
In the ruined dust
We are still the same
