Take a seat won't you my friend
And let old Jack here pour you a drink
I've heard them talking about the end
You always know how to think
I'll never forget the first time
We discovered we weren't innocent
She hasn't been too unkind
With what little time we're lent
Wait out life till these bars close
Sun sets on streets row on row
Just relax but don't let go
Don't forget how this time flows
So I'll keep hanging on
To glasses and to hope
And I'll keep hanging on
And trying to help you cope
The world keeps spinning faster
Heading for some grand disaster
I'll keep hanging on
As long as you hang on to me
I lost trust in this young heart
So many years ago
And I was far too young to part
With my mind's heavy load
Now we're thinking we're so wise
But the youthful glow remains
I've still got a fire in my eyes
And it's burning away this pain
Wait out life till these bars close
Sun sets on streets row on row
Just relax but don't let go
Don't forget how this time flows
So I'll keep hanging on
To glasses and to hope
And I'll keep hanging on
And trying to help you cope
The world keeps spinning faster
Heading for some grand disaster
I'll keep hanging on
As long as you hang on to me
And apathy is a disease
That I can't heal
But in between the falsities
We're forgetting how to feel
And apathy is a disease
That I can't heal
But in between the falsities
We're forgetting how to feel
And wisdom comes from everywhere
It's drowning me out my thoughts
Let's talk a while, remember how we forgot
So I'll keep hanging on
To glasses and to hope
And I'll keep hanging on
And trying to help you cope
The world keeps spinning faster
Heading for some grand disaster
I'll keep hanging on
As long as you hang on to me
