Hold On: Nectarine

Nectarine


We can make it there on fumes
We can coast down the hills
She says we’ll be all right
We’ll figure out something
It’s gonna all work out
It’s got to all work out
Squeezing hands so tight
God, I just need to believe
I just need to believe
I need to believe
To keep on… going

The coffee’s getting cold
The ice naturally melts
It all tastes watered down
And everything is sweating
Tell me how you’re feeling
Please, tell me how it felt
You say nothing out loud
But I need to believe
So scared of what’s coming
I need to believe
To keep on… going

Cause I want to be a child
I want that thoughtless space
Before I looked around
And it all looked back at me
But then I paint our pretty house
I see you naked there
Swelling like a nectarine
And, I just need to believe
I just need to believe
I need to believe
To keep on… going
