Lyrics
Sneakers on the wrong feet, buddy, hold still, I'm kneeling in the hallway, shaking hands. Sandwich cut in rectangles, you say real quiet, "Mom does triangles," and I understand. Her voice is on the phone, I can't press play, So I let another morning slip away. I'll hold on for both of us, Hold on for both of us. When I'm not strong enough, when the night comes down, I'll hold on for both of us. Your hand in mine, her love in me, I'll hold on for both of us. Two cups of juice, you set them out by habit, I put one back and turn so you won't see. You wear her faded scarf wrapped twice around you, Humming her old lullaby on the way to school. You ask me when she's coming home, And I just say, "Come here," 'cause I don't know. I'll hold on for both of us, Hold on for both of us. When I'm not strong enough, when the tears come down, I'll hold on for both of us. Your hand in mine, her love in me, I'll hold on for both of us. Tonight I lost the words to the song she sang, Slid down the wall and couldn't breathe. Then your small hand on my cheek, you said, "That's okay, Daddy, I'll hum the rest for you." I'll hold on for both of us, Hold on for both of us. She's in every story that I tell, In every song you hum. Hand in hand, we're still a family, I'll hold on for both of us! Hold on, hold on, I'll hold on for both of us.
