Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't need whiskey to drown out the pain
Or some old umbrella to hold off the rain
Don't have to cross over a river of tears
All that I need is right here
[Chorus]
Holding you holds me together
When holding on gets just a little too hard
When this tight rope I travel
Begins to unravel and I feel like
I'm falling apart
Holding you holds me together
[Verse 2]
You know life's a freight liner on a runaway track
But I'll take the ride knowing to bring me back
No fates too uncertain, no distance too far
As long as you're here in my arms
[Chorus]
Holding you holds me together
When holding on gets just a little too hard
When this tight rope I travel
Begins to unravel and I feel like
I'm falling apart
Holding you holds me together
[Bridge]
Whenever I hold you tight
This crazy world of mine falls right in place
Whatever the trouble is
You find a way to give back what it takes, yeah
[Outro]
When this tight rope I travel
Begins to unravel I feel like
I'm falling apart
Holding you holds me together
Holding you holds me together
