[Verse 1]
Headlines screaming on a tiny screen
Scrolling through a thousand borrowed dreams
Everybody running like they’re chased by time
I’m just trying not to lose my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
When every second’s sold out
And every click is a crowd
I hear a quiet voice inside me say
[Chorus]
Hold on to the human
In the middle of the noise
Listen to your heartbeat
Louder than the scrolling void
Look into the eyes
Right in front of you
Hold on to the human
Or the rush will carry you
[Verse 2]
Skipped lunch
Liked pics
Missed my friend’s new job
Sent a little heart instead of showing up
Talking to a camera like it talks back
Forgetting I can just… call you back
[Pre-Chorus]
When every moment’s on show
But no one really knows
I feel your hand and everything slows down
[Chorus]
Hold on to the human
In the middle of the noise
Listen to your heartbeat
Louder than the scrolling void
Laugh until it hurts
Cry if you need to
Hold on to the human
Standing next to you
[Bridge]
Take a breath
Count to ten
Touch the ground
Here again
Say my name
I’ll say yours too
We’re still real
Me and you (oh)
[Chorus]
Hold on to the human
In the middle of the noise
Listen to your heartbeat
It’s a better kind of voice
Call me when it’s dark
I’ll stay on with you
Hold on to the human
I’ll hold on to you
