lyrics

the verrazano narrows bridge was cloaked in fog
like some bad mystery movie
the weatherman on the radio said
the wind was fifty miles an hour
my knuckles were white from the clenching
as I held to the wheel you said, you said

hold tight hold tight hold tight hold tight
this won’t be the one
this won’t be the one to break you

the airport was shiny and cold
like some bad sci-fi movie
we stole a moment in the meditation room
security regarding us suspiciously
as I tried not to cry you said, you said

hold tight hold tight hold tight …

the plane took off despite the wind and fog
like some bad romance movie
I made my way back to the parking lot
With your voice in my head sayin’, sayin’

hold tight hold tight hold tight …

sometimes I just don’t understand the way things work
like some badly-dubbed movie
where even the actors are confused
so I’m wishing you were here
raggin’ on my taste in movies

sayin’ hold tight hold tight hold tight hold tight
this won’t be the one
this won’t be the one to break you
