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

You know life's a freight liner on

A runaway track

But I'll take the ride knowing

That you'll bring me back

No fate's too uncertain no distance too far

As long as ou're here in my arms

(repeat chorus)

(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

(half chorus)
