[Verse 1]
Am I allowed to feel this low
When I haven't seen the world implode?
But I still feel it all in my bones every time I accept defeat
I’m just a small town girl trying to live out her fantasies

[Verse 2]
Patience written on my face
Still I'm struggling to keep up with the pace
So why do I even try? Should I just accept defeat?
But some how I'm still kneeling into conceit

[Chorus]
Hold on to the reason that you stayed
We're still picking up from yesterday
Hold on to the chase, I'm runnin' late
Said I'll meet you at a different place

[Verse 3]
Unshakable desires so innate
So I made a list of the things I grew to hate
But will I ever learn? Does it hurt to never change?
I've crossed out pages but I'm still afraid

[Chorus]
Hold on to the reason that you stayed
We’re still picking up from yesterday
Hold on to the chase, I'm runnin' late
Said I’ll meet you at a different place
[Bridge]
There's something about you I just can't understand
Is it weird, though I try to, I could never forget?
Does it make it any easier for us to pretend?
Is it weird, though I want to, I could never...

[Chorus]
Hold on to the reason that you stayed
(There's something about you I just can't understand)
We're still picking up from yesterday
(Is it weird, though I try to, I could never forget?)
Hold on to the chase, I'm runnin' late
(Does it make it any easier for us to pretend?)
Said I'll meet you at a different place
(Is it weird, though I want to, I could never forget?)
