(Jian on lead)
I'll hold you if you feel you'll fall
I'll hold your hand if you just need a friend
I'll hold the line so you can call
I'll hold the feelings you don't want to end

(Jian and Dave)
You know that it's true
When I hold you

(Jian, Dave & Mike)
There'll be no secrets
I believe it

(Jian and Dave)
I'll hold your tears if you must cry
I'll hold your breath if that won't make you blue
I'll hold the truth if you must lie
and I'll hold off choice till you know what to do

(Jian and Dave)
You know that it's true
When I hold you
There are no secrets

(Jian, Dave & Mike)
I believe it

(Jian, w/ others singing "hold on", slowly)
So I will hold on

(All)
And if that's not what you're used to
Then I may refuse to

(Jian w/ others singing "hold off", slowly)
Hold off

(All)
well, maybe that's not what you're used to

(Jian)
How can I refuse you?

(Jian and Dave)
I'll hold the train till you get on
I'll hold the mirror so you can fix your hair
I'll hold the pain till it is gone
and I'll hold my ground when people stop and stare

(Jian and Dave)
You know that it's true
When I've held you

(Jian, Dave & Mike)
There are no secrets
You must believe it

(Jian)
I'll hold the beating of my heart
I'll hold my breath if you will tell me to

(Jian and Dave)
I'll hold the hope that we won't part
and I'll hold off death so I can live with you

(Jian and Dave)
You knew it was true
When I held you

(Jian, Dave & Mike)
There were no secrets
I believed it

(Jian, w/ others singing "hold on", slowly)
So I will hold on

(All)
And if that's not what you're used to
Then I may refuse to

(Jian w/ others singing "hold off", slowly)
Hold off

(All)
well, maybe that's not what you're used to
How can I refuse you?

(Jian, w/ others singing "hold on", slowly)
So I will hold on

(All)
And if that's not what you're used to
Then I may refuse to

(Jian w/ others singing "hold off", slowly)
Hold off

(All)
well, maybe that's not what you're used to

(Jian)
How can I refuse you?
