Hold on, my dear, 

it paces through the underground, 

but downtown sound is all the rage;

My love, stay clear, 

warm nights, with a torrent flow, 

hold the floodgates back, pierce emotional 


The hardest times, control the girl, 

the hardest times, control the girl


[Chorus]

Tonight, tonight, we drop the beat tonight

Tonight, tonight, we drop the beat tonight

Long and short the whole worlds not enough;

Tonight, tonight, we drop the beat tonight

Tonight, tonight, we drop the beat tonight (we can't have it all)

Honest, intentional 


Hold on, my dear, 

we never said that life was fair, 

but daydream nights just aren't enough;

My love, stay clear, 

whisper, don't leave my side, 

it's not the same at twelve, without you here


The hardest times, control the girl, 

the hardest times, control the girl


[Chorus]


The one word;

The notion, the verdict, the scar;

We hang guilt on our sleeve; 

Cause our hearts wont stretch that far;

And I know, just how the worst will turn out;

But sadly she's not here, and sadly she's not present, 

the one who brings me valor draped in courage adolescence;

And when we know the truths that we never can admit, 

we run from our true self and create a lie that fits;


You made it right, you didn't make it better [x6]
