About Hang on

"Hang On" is a single from Plumb's third compilation album Beautiful History and is one of four original songs featured in the set. "Hang On" was recorded to be used in the 2009 original soundtrack to the film "Twilight: New Moon" but did not make the cut. The track reached the top spot of the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play in 2009 and was the first number-one single of 2010 on Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay chart. In a profile/interview about the artist in Billboard, singer/songwriter Tiffany Lee Arbuckle notes that "Hang On" was written about finding hope when you feel hopeless, and dedicated it to her longtime fans.

 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

I'm so stubborn, it's how I got here
So alone, feels like forever
Wanna swim away and breath the open air
But I feel so afraid, then I hear you say

Hang on when the water is rising
Hang on when the waves are crashing
Hang on, just don't ever let go

I'm so hungry, how can I stay here?
Starving for what I hold so dear
Like a hurricane it takes everything from me
Wake me from this dream

Hang on when the water is rising
Hang on when the waves are crashing
Hang on, just don't ever let go

Hang on when you are barely breathing
Hang on when your heart's still beating
Hang on, just don't ever let go

Three days, thirty years
So hopeless, doesn't matter
Don't say it's too late if you blink your eyes
The sun is rising, the sun is rising, oh

Hang on when the water is rising
Hang on when the waves are crashing
Hang on, just don't ever let go

Hang on when you're barely breathing
Hang on when your heart's still beating
Hang on, just don't ever let go
