Trapped Within My Mind - Hold On, I'll Be Back

Hold On, I'll Be Back by Trapped Within My Mind You get halfway down the hallway Then you turn and run right back Forgot your water, forgot your high five Forgot some little thing you had You say, "Hold on, I'll be back" Five small words you barely notice Every time I hear you say them They unravel something old Every doorway that you run through You come back a little changed Like there's something worth discovering Just beyond what you can name Hold on, I'll be back You say it like a promise Like nothing ever changes Like nobody gets lost Hold on, I'll be back I swear it hits me harder Every time you say it Like you know I'll still be here And maybe that's all I want To still be here You walk around like you belong here Like the room was made for you Every little thing you're proud of Turns the whole place bright and new You wear every feeling openly Like weather passing through One minute thunder in the hallway Next you're dancing through the room Hold on, I'll be back You say it like a promise Like nothing ever changes Like nobody gets lost Hold on, I'll be back I swear it hits me harder Every time you say it Like you know I'll still be here And maybe that's all I want To still be here One day the hallway might go quiet And the light won't hit the floor Maybe all these little footsteps Won't come running through the door I don't know which part will hurt more What disappears or what remains So I keep every little promise Like a match against the rain Hold on Hold on I'll be— Hold on, I'll be back I hear it in the silence In every empty doorway In every little pause Hold on, I'll be back Maybe that's what love is Leaving something warm behind Even when you're gone If the years erase the tracks I hope some part of you remembers You can always come back Hold on I'll be back Hold on I'll be back
