[Verse 1]
There's a boy in a car at the top of a hill
Looking down at LA
He's so close to the stars and the fires that start
But he feels far away, far away
He thinks that there's something
Something that he lost
He thinks there is love
He knows there is love

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Holding him back
Are the ghosts of embarrassing memories
It's in the air
It's been holding me back
I can't live this way

[Chorus]
Hey, hold onto me
Don't say it's the end of me
I'm right here, I'm ready
I need this love
Hey, hold onto me
Don't say it's the end of me
I'm right here, I'm ready
I need this love
[Verse 2]
Then his eyes pull away from the glow of the city at night
(It's alright, it's alright)
From this place you can see
Through fog to the beach and the heights
(It's alright, it's alright)
There's a girl in a room
There's a boy in a full bloom
I think they are loved
I know they are loved

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Holding it back
Cause the notes in the last words you said to me
Are in the air
I wanna come back to you
I can't live this way

[Chorus]
Hey, hold onto me
Don't say it's the end of me
I'm right here, I'm ready
I need this love
Hey, hold onto me
Don't say it's the end of me
I'm right here, I'm ready
I need this love
This love

Hey, hold onto me
Don't say it's the end of me
I'm right here, I'm ready
I need this love

Hey, hold onto me
Don't say it's the end of me
I'm right here, I'm ready
I need this love
Hey, hold onto me
Don't say it's the end of me
I'm right here, I'm ready
I need this love
(love, love...)
