Late in the night I can hear the sirens roaring
Like a pain in the heart you can't go on ignoring
And there was nothing I could do or say
That would chase your cloud away
Oh, nothing I could do to keep your sky from falling
But I'm hanging on
I promise you it won't be long
Till we can see the other side
Lighting up the world you're in
Making room for you and me again
Me again
Lately you said that life just ain't worth living
And now you're bleeding the same old stone but it's just not giving
And there was nothing I could say or write
That would chase away the night
Oh, nothing I could do to keep your sky from falling
But I'm hanging on
I promise you it won't be long
Till we can see the other side
Lighting up the world you're in
Making room for you and me again
Me again
And now we're taking off the kid gloves
So we can put our finger on the pulse of
Every secret that you held inside
Late in the night I can hear the sirens roaring
Like a pain in the heart you can't go on ignoring
But I'm hanging on
All is calm
And the world feels right
Though the sky is falling
We can sleep tonight
(repeat)
I promise you I'm hanging on
