Hold On One More Night

Empty bottle on the dresser

Phone lit up with "where you at?"

You been scrollin through the answers

Ain’t no answer callin back

Mama’s picture on the mirror

Eyes that always saw you clear

But your own reflection’s whisperin

"You don’t need to be here"

I know that weight, I wore those boots

Mud and shame, caked on the roots

Sat on tailgates, laughin loud

Then drove home feelin like a ghost in the crowd

Punched my pillow, cursed my name

Thought the world would be relieved if I just…

But I saw my brother’s text pop through

"Hey man, love you, you good?" — pulled me back from the edge

So hold on one more night

Don’t you let that darkness win this fight

You ain’t weak for cryin out

You’re still here, that’s what it’s all about

When your hands can’t find the light

Let my voice be jump leads in your mind

You ain’t alone in this barroom sky

Just hold on

Hold on one more night

Yeah…

You don’t post it on your story when you’re sittin on the floor

With the shower runnin steady, tryna drown out every thought

When your chest tight, can’t breathe, can’t talk, can’t sleep

Feelin like a lost cause, feelin like a bad seed

But listen—

That chair in the kitchen, that rope, that gun

They don’t tell you ‘bout your mama when she loses her son

They don’t show you how your best friend shakes blamin himself

Or your dog by the doorway, waitin, tail still up

You’re not a burden, you’re a heartbeat

You’re a laugh at a campfire, boots on the backseat

You’re a name on a phone that somebody needs

You’re the reason that your father learned to breathe deep

Dial that number, let it ring, let it ring

Tell ‘em everything ugly that you’re scared to bring

If you’re lookin for a sign, let this line be the thing

You are more than what you’re thinkin in the worst of your springs

So hold on one more night

Don’t you let that darkness win this fight

You ain’t weak for cryin out

You’re still here, that’s what it’s all about

When your hands can’t find the light

Let my voice be jump leads in your mind

You ain’t alone in this barroom sky

Just hold on

Hold on one more night

Call a friend, call a stranger (hey)

Call that number on the screen

There is room in every heartbreak

For a brand-new heartbeat

If you’re standin on the railing

Thinkin you could just let go

Let my promise be your anchor

You are loved more than you know (more than you know)

So hold on one more night

Don’t you let that darkness win this fight

You ain’t weak for cryin out

You’re still here, that’s what it’s all about

When your hands can’t find the light

Let our voices jump leads in your mind

Singin, "Stay, please stay, you’ll be alright"

Just hold on

Hold on one more night
