[intro: sleezy, soulful guitar]
[Verse 1: Male vocal]
I’m standin’ in the doorway of a life I ain’t lived
Boots full of dust and a heart that won’t give.
Every sunrise whispers, “Girl, you could go”
But the wind keeps hummin’ secrets only you know
[Guitar grittier, drums build up]
[Pre‑Chorus: male and female vocals]
We ain’t stuck, we’re just
caught in the breath
Between what we want
and what ain’t happened yet
[All instruments, high energy]
[Chorus: Male and Female vocals]
(Male vocal) I’m in the hold…
(Female vocal) Yeah, I feel it too.
(Male and Female vocal) Where the heart don’t break and we'll see it through
(Female vocal) I’m standin’ still
but I’m shakin’ inside
(Male vocal) Like a storm that’s waitin’
for the green light to rise.
(Male and Female vocals) I’m in the hold…
And I ain’t lettin’ go.
[Verse 2: Female vocal]
I’m drivin’ down a highway that don’t end or begin
Radio static sayin’ things I swear sound like your skin
Got a map full of maybes and a tank full of ache
But I’m holdin’ this line ‘cause I know what’s at stake
[Pre-chorus Male and Female vocal]
We ain’t stuck, we’re just
caught in the breath
Between what we want
and what ain’t happened yet
[Chorus: Male and Female vocals]
(Male vocal) I’m in the hold…
(Female vocal) Yeah, I feel it too.
(Male and Female vocal) Where the heart don’t break
And we'll see it through
(Female vocal) I’m standin’ still
but I’m shakin’ inside
(Male vocal)Like a storm that’s waitin’
for the green light to rise.
(Male and Female vocals) I’m in the hold…
And I ain’t lettin’ go.
[Guitar solo, drums breaks, build up]
[Bridge: guitar, drum breaks]
(Female vocal) If you’re comin’, love, then come like thunder
Break this silence clean in two
(Male vocal) I’m right here, breathin’ under
Everything we didn’t do!!!
[Verse 3 softer]
(Female vocal) Got a promise in my pocket that I folded too tight
Tryin’ not to lose it in the dark of the night
(Male vocal) Your name keeps burnin’ like a porch‑light flame
And I swear I hear you whisper every time it rains!
[Drum fill, then straight to pre-chorus]
[Pre-chorus: heavy instruments, male and female vocals]
We ain’t stuck, we’re just caught in the breath
Between what we want
and what ain’t happened yet
[Final Chorus: Heavy music, call and echo starting with female vocal]
(Female vocal) I’m in the hold…
(Male vocal) I’m standing with you
(Female vocal) We're half undone…
(Male vocal) But still seein’ it through
(Female vocal) One heartbeat at a time
(Male vocal) And I'll call you mine.
(Together) Ya we’re in the hold…
And we ain’t lettin’ go.
No we ain't lettin go
[Outro instruments driving, Male vocal starts and female vocal echoes]
(Male vocal) Ya I'm in the hold.
(Female vocal echo) I’m in the hold…
(Male vocal) Ooo I'm in the hold
(Female vocal echo) It can feel so cold...
(Male vocal) We're in the hold
(Together)
And we ain't letting.... go
