The 77s
Holy Hold
[Verse 1]
Been around a time or two
Never seen anything like you
Beaten down to the ground
(I couldn't) Lift my head, couldn't turn around
I found you, I found joy
(I got the) Smiling face of a little boy
With you, time stands still
(And) I can swallow any bitter pill

[Pre-Chorus 1]
(You got) A young look
Young touch
Never knew that I could love this much
'Til you put in your lovin' clutch

[Verse 2]
You know I I've been around, around the track
Was bound to lose 'cause I was too far back
(And then you) Made your move upon my soul
I had to get you 'fore I got too old
You saw the gaping hole in my heart
I let this world tear it all apart
(But then you) Filled it up and filled it in
You didn't care where it had been
[Pre-Chorus 1]
(You got) A young look
Young touch
Never knew that I could love this much
'Til you put in your lovin' clutch

[Pre-Chorus 2]
You gave an old man
A young heart
Transplanted from the broken parts
Jump-started with your lovin' spark

[Chorus]
You've got a holy hold, hold on me, yeah
You've got a holy hold, hold on me, yeah
You've got a holy hold, hold on me, yeah
You've got a holy hold, hold on me, yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus 1]
(You got) A young look
Young touch
Never knew that I could love this much
'Til you put in your lovin' clutch
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You gave an old man
(Old man)
A young heart
(Young heart)
Transplanted from the broken parts
Jump-started with your lovin' spark

[Chorus]
You've got a holy hold, hold on me, yeah
You've got a holy hold, hold on me, yeah
You've got a holy hold, hold on me, yeah
You've got a holy hold, hold on me, yeah

[Outro]
(Hold on me)
