Lyrics Fox Stevenson – Hold Steady

Oh, hold it steady
Get it ready
Let it go
Something simple I don’t know

Stop, I can’t think
I’ve got everything flashing and I’m on the brink of collapse
Oh, I’m way past that
And I can’t even tell
We’ve got it all right here
Or maybe we’ll just disappear
That’s my only fear
Welcome to hell

Oh, hold it steady
Get it ready
Let it go
Something simple I don’t know

She smiles, sips on a cocktail
Talks about her long term plans
She don’t need schooling anyway
She’s gonna marry a rich old man
Did we stoop this low?
Man, I don’t know
She says she’s broke
But we’re all broken too

Oh, hold it steady
Get it ready
Let it go
Something simple we don’t know
And I guess it shows
We’d crack the skies in half if they said so

We need to take it back to the front lines again
Too many runners, too many loose ends
Too many of them think they’re men, they pretend
No heads, no hearts, no end for them
It’s been so long I forgot what I want
Too much thinking, too little gets done
And what if I’m wrong, and have been all along
This hill’s too steep, I’m too far gone
So I
Step back to the top again
I live alone ’cause I can’t make friends
I wish somebody would make some sense
I gotta stop wishing that the rules would bend

Oh, hold it steady
Get it ready
Let it go
Something simple we don’t know
And I guess it shows
We’d crack the skies in half if they said so
Something simple I don’t know
