hold on to you the cool air running through my hair nights like these , they do n't seem fair for you and i to be so far away the stars all shimmer like a melody like they 're playing for you and me but only i can hear their sounds maybe if i ask them they will play for you i try wishing on one , maybe i 'll try to does n't look like there 's much for me to do i want to hold on to you just like these memories i ca n't undo i want to hold on to you without you here that 's kind of hard to do i want to hold i want to hold on to you the front seat 's empty , and i know when it 's just me i seem to go places i never wanted to i need you here to be a light star in the sky brighten up my night sometimes i need the dark to see so come on , come on , turn it on for me just a little light , then i 'll be able to see promise like a comet you wo n't fly by me i want to hold on to you just like these memories i ca n't undo i want to hold on to you without you here that 's kind of hard to do i want to hold i want to hold on to you ridge i finish the song and do n't give myself time to look up at her before i begin playing the new one .
