Lyrics
Reach inside and hold you close
I won't leave you on your own
Teach me the words I used to know
Yeah, I forgot 'em long ago
So hold the girl
Hold the girl
Hold the girl
Hold the girl

Hold that girl
Hold that girl
Hold that girl

Sometimes I get down with guilt
For the promises I've broken to my younger self
Moving on, maybe I never will
'Cause I left you spinning on the carousel

Been living without you
Been living without you

Reach inside and hold you close
I won't leave you on your own
Teach me the words I used to know
Yeah, I forgot 'em long ago
I wanna remember
She is me and I am her
So hold the girl
Hold the girl

(You gotta) Hold that girl
(You gotta) Hold that girl (ooh)
(You gotta) Hold that girl
(You gotta)

Sometimes I just wanna run away (run away)
Leave behind that old me, start again (start again)
Then I'll remember who I'm really made of (who I'm made of)
And she's been hide-and-seeking, waiting all alone

Been living without you
Been living without you (oh)

Reach inside and hold you close
I won't leave you on your own
Teach me the words I used to know
Yeah, I forgot 'em long ago
I wanna remember
She is me and I am her
So hold the girl
Hold the girl

Close to your heart
Never ever let her go (never let you go)
They'll tell you to sit up, and shut up, and grow up
What the hell do they know?
'Cause the girl in your soul's singing on
And you owe her the world

So hold the girl
Hold the girl

Reach inside and hold you close
I won't leave you on your own
Teach me the words I used to know
Yeah, I forgot about 'em so long ago

Reach inside and hold you close
I won't leave you on your own
Teach me the words I used to know
Yeah, I forgot 'em long ago
I wanna remember
She is me and I am her
So hold the girl
Hold the girl
