It's where you go when you're in danger And how you open your disguise It's your uncompromising anger It's how you cope with all your ties If you look over your shoulder You'll find a kindred soul in me Never said that it was easy But I need to make you see When the time comes 'round don't slip away Give me something to hold on to (Something to hold on to) I'll give you more than you came for You give me something to hold on to It's how you look when you are angry About the things you say you see The way you search for what you're after I wish you'd look around at me I look for you in Blue Jay Way But I find you wouldn't stay I never said that it was easy When the time comes 'round don't slip away Give me something to hold on to (Something to hold on to) I'll give you more than you came for You give me something to hold on to (Something you can hold on to) You're the Jacaranda in my morning You're my laser in the night (Something to hold on to) When the time comes 'round don't slip away (Something you can hold on to) You give me something to hold on to In fields of love and indecision I'll find you lying in the sun I might trap you in my whirlpool Where there's nowhere left to run Where there's nowhere left to run When the time comes 'round don't slip away You give me something to hold on to (Something to hold on to) I'll give you more than you came for You give me something to hold on to (Something you can hold on to) When the time comes 'round don't slip away (Something to hold on to) When the time comes 'round don't slip away (Something you can hold onto) You give me something to hold on to
