Текст Esperanza Spalding – Hold On Me

I can hold my tongue for years, I don’t mind
For within that time, silent, I recite thousands of poems about you
Until one of them comes true

I can hold my breath for years, I won’t get blue

Till the air is clear enough to breathe ’round you
I’ll keep holding on

Such a thrill when you’re near
But a staggering feet
Holding still when I feel
Folks can hear my heartbeat,

Your love may never flow my way
Still I’m gonna keep holding on

Shouldn’t I just let go
Since there’s nothing left to do?
Time just melts away and the current grows stronger
Pulling me downstream toward you
But, until my love runs dry,
I’m gonna keep holding on
Holding on, I can’t help myself when you’re near,
My head goes wild and my heart beats like an eager child
I keep holding on, holding on
