Hold Still Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here we go again
We'll carry on, my only friends
I'll take one chance without compromise
There isn't anything left to try

[Verse 2]
Here we go again
We'll carry on but then again
We couldn't take this on, the story goes unformed
As if we never were there at all

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Grizzly Bear say about "Hold Still"?
Genius Answer

Recorded on Cape Cod, capturing the echo and reverb of the piano strings (we sung into it). To me it serves as a perfect breather, plus I love the guitar tone.

Ed Droste, Drowned in Sound

What have the artists said about the song?
Genius Answer

Yeah this song really feels like our time up on Cape Cod. Was never meant to be some grand song, it was more like a very soothing mood piece or something. I love that you can hear the fire crackling in the background.

Daniel Rossen, Drowned in Sound
