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
