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

Holdin' 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 fallin' apart

holdin' you

holds me together

You know life's

a freight liner

on a runaway track

but I'll take the ride knowin'

that you'll bring me back

No fate's too uncertain

no distance too far

as long as you're

here in my arms

Holdin' 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 fallin' apart

holdin' you

holds me together

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

When this tight rope I travel

begins to unravel

I feel like I'm fallin' apart

holdin' you

holds me together

Holdin' you

holds me... together
