[Verse 1]
Concrete rising, water in the glass
Shadows stretch out, but the hours won't last
Fingers pressing down on the edge of the board
Counting the heartbeats, keeping the score
You feel the floor shift under your shoes
Nothing to win, and nothing to lose
[Chorus]
Give me something to hold on
When the current is pulling me deep
Give me something to hold on
A promise the midnight can keep
Through the funk and the flash, let the anchor drop
Never gonna let it stop
(Hold on, hold on)
Give me something to hold on
[Verse 2]
Dust on the strings of an old upright
Neon signs bleeding into the night
A sudden drum roll snapping the air
Looking around, but there's nobody there
Just a rhythm that pulls from the base of the spine
Crossing the border, one final line
[Chorus]
Give me something to hold on
When the current is pulling me deep
Give me something to hold on
A promise the midnight can keep
Through the funk and the flash, let the anchor drop
Never gonna let it stop
(Hold on, hold on)
Give me something to hold on
[Bridge]
(Bass drop)
(Darbuka solo, tight and rapid)
(Dubstep bass wobble, building tension)
Piano rolls loose, the honky tonk beat
Colliding with fire right under my feet
Hold it steady
Hold it strong
We belong
[Chorus]
Give me something to hold on
When the current is pulling me deep
Give me something to hold on
A promise the midnight can keep
Through the funk and the flash, let the anchor drop
Never gonna let it stop
[Outro]
Hold on
Just a grip in the dark
Hold on
(Fade out on percussion)
