You were always the long haired boy Starting out into the window with your prison toy You were searching for fading dreams The dog, the house, the family Oh, hold your own, hold your own I remember your taillights Shining off of the phone I hadn't looked up from all night I remember the back of your head As you walked away I remember every word you say Oh, hold your own, hold your own Go on, and borrow me I'll be bound but you'll be free, and All my life I'll sing this song with you Go on, and borrow me We were kids but now we're kings, and All my life I'll sing this song with you Seventh innings and battle scars A ten-year-old soldier, eighteen hit so hard Happiness was a friend of ours But some days were colder, some days a work of art Oh, hold your own, hold your own You felt so polar right down to your core Commandment cancer, tired and tore Is it all worth fighting for? I don't know the answer, I know there must be more Oh hold your own, hold your own
