Reach inside and hold you close
I won’t leave you on your own
Teach me the words I used to know
Yea I forgot them long ago

So hold that girl
Hold the girl
Hold the girl
Hold the girl

Sometimes I get down with guilt
For the promises I’ve broken to my younger self
Moving on, maybe I’ll never will
Cos I left u spinning on the carousel

Been living without you
Been living without you

Reach inside and hold you close
I won’t leave her on your own
Teach me the words I used to know
Yea I forgot them long ago
I wanna remember
She is me and I am her

So hold that girl
So hold that girl

Sometimes I just want to run away
Leave behind that old me, start again
Then I remember who I’m really made of
And she’s been hide and seeking, waiting all along

Close to your heart
Never ever let you go (never let you go)
They’ll tell you to sit up and shut up and grow up
What the hell do they know?

Cos the girl in your soul’s seen it all
And you owe her the world
So hold the girl
Hold the girl
