Andrew Osenga - Hold on, Boy lyrics

I walked to school every day with a boy up the street Our mothers declared we were friends, so it was to be He listed by number the girls he had kissed And how sweet they tasted and haw soft their lips When we got to school I hid out by the playground to read O boy, just hold on, boy O, remember this day If ever you find it, boy, never let love get away The first time she noticed me my lace was crimson with shame My quest for attention had led to them laughing again A couple years later she leaned in to whisper Compa**ion and kindness, as I went to kiss her She suddenly vanished... Oh, the ache... O boy, just hold on, boy O, remember this day If ever you find it, boy, never let love get away I waited so long When I finally found you I was a madman, drunk with desire You were a lifeboat, I was on fire Now that it's over The damage is seen All I can say is Could you forgive me? Boy, just hold on, boy Remember this pain If ever you find it again, boy Give her room to learn to love you and maybe she'll stay...
