[Verse 1]
I'm awake and you’re asleep
Brick house is breathing, breathing
Lying in the castle deep
Sink down, I’m dreaming, dreaming
Skin cold against the sheets
Deep south is freezing, freezing
And now I'm freezing

[Chorus]
"Hold onto me,"
Is the sound of leaving
"Hold onto me,"
That’s the sound of leaving

[Verse 2]
Slip out into the stars
Smoke saddle in your pocket
Suitcases in your car
You don't stop, you just can’t stop it
Someday, somehow
You'll remember when you lost it
The day you lost it

[Chorus]
"Hold onto me,"
Is the sound of leaving, leaving
"Hold onto me,"
Is the sound of leaving, leaving
"Hold onto me,"
Is the sound of leaving, leaving
That’s the sound
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Pinned down against your will
Feel the planets rearranging
I lie here very still
The tiny whispers, the shiny whispers
Oh, no, oh wow
The earth beneath our feet is shaking
And now you’re breaking

[Chorus]
"Hold onto me
Hold onto me
Hold onto me,"
That’s the sound of leaving
That’s the sound

[Outro]
"Hold onto me,"
That's the sound
"Hold onto me,"
That's the sound
"Hold onto me,"
That's the sound
"Hold onto me,"
That's the sound
"Hold onto me,"
That's the sound
