speeding down the freeway,feels like I'm running away from you
this is just the first of many more times that I will lose
then find again, then lose again on the hunt for something true
you see I lived so long in doubt and fear wasn't sure I'd ever find
a way to shake this darkness, could my eyes even stand the light?
but I kept on hanging on, something kept me hanging on
turn on The Moon My Saddle, it's the perfect soundtrack for tonight
set the cruise control can barely see the road through the tears filling up my eyes
across the old bridge on the Hudson, two more hours till I arrive
not even sure if when I get there, I'll have any more strength to fight
see I lived so long in pain and sorrow,wasn't sure that I'd know how
to recognize a good thing or how to feel if it came around
but I kept on hanging on, something kept me hanging on
I didn't see you right there beside me, my eyes didn't meet your gaze
though I didn't find peace, maybe never will, I think I've found my place
and though the road through hell was lonely, there isn't one thing I would trade
'cause it got me here and I faced my fears and laughed right in their face
you see I lived so long believing in things not built to last
and they smashed into a million pieces of rose-colored broken glass
when I tried to pick up the pieces, the sharp ends cut my hands
I was bleeding, bruised, and broken, but I found the will to stand
and I kept on hanging on, something kept me hanging on
yeah I keep on hanging on, something keeps me hanging on
