[Verse 1]
Hold me now, I think I might be dying
Not ashamed to say that I am frightened
Hold me now, I used to hear [like lightning?]
Are yours the last eyes that I'll ever see
Staring into me?

[Pre-Chorus]
Was that just because
A mistake in love
Two people who stop trying enough
Don't want a brand new life
This one's just right
Why would I throw it all away?

[Chorus]
Won't you hold me now?
Just before I stop breathing
I know I promised I wouldn't leave here without you
Please, don't let me go
While they play the last song ever
The last chance to hold each other forever

[Verse 2]
Hold me now, I've still got words worth hearing
I just wanna be a human being
Hold me now, we all know what I'm fearing
I think I see the light, am I disappearing?

[Pre-Chorus]
Was that just because
A mistake in love
Two people who stop trying enough
Don't want a brand new life
This one's just right
Why would I throw it all away?

[Chorus]
Won't you hold me now?
Just before I stop breathing
I know I promised I wouldn't leave here without you
Please, don't let me go
While they play the last song ever
The last chance to hold each other forever

[Chorus]
Won't you hold me now?
Just before I stop breathing
I know I promised I wouldn't leave here without you
Please, don't let me go
While they play the last song ever
The last chance to hold each other forever

[Outro]
Hold me now
Remember how we were at the beginning
