Hold On To The Times Lyrics by James McVey

0

[Verse 1]
Nights like this only remind me
That I'll never be able to go back in time and hold you tightly
Roads like this they just remind me
That I'll never be there again by your side when I was tiny
When I walk past an old guy smoking
Puffing it from a pipe, it’s almost like it's you in that moment
And rooms like this with Artex ceilings
All they do is go and remind me that I'm, I'm still healing
[Pre-Chorus]
And I can't stop the years from rolling on
[Chorus]
The thing I find about time is it’s impatient
You close your eyes the speed of life keeps on racing
I can keep a moment in a photograph but
All I can really do is look at that
I know 'til I die that I can't hold you
So I hold on to the times
[Verse 2]
Suits like this are so uncomfortable
The last time I had one on
I held Nan's arm at your funeral
And scotch like this takes me to sixteen
When mum came home to find you and I drunk on whiskey
[Pre-Chorus]
And I can't stop the years from rolling on
[Chorus]
The thing I find about time is it's impatient
You close your eyes the speed of life keeps on racing
I can keep a moment in a photograph but
All I can really do is look at that
I know 'til I die that I can't hold you
So I hold on to the times
I can keep a moment in a photograph but
All I can really do is look at that
I know 'til I die that I can't hold you
So I hold on to the times
