Hold me up
I've had enough
Down here in these shadows
What did I even gain?
Wanting more
Of Something less
I can't wait any longer
I'm falling
I just can't wait to give in
Just can't wait to again
Just can't wait
Just can't wait
Hold me up, Holy Ghost
Check my heart when I won't let go
If I had the money and a little more home
If I had it all would it make me whole
But I'm not sure, save my soul
I don't want the world if it means I don't have You
You
Have You
Have You
I don't know where I'd even be
Still fresh in my memory
Came down and stood to my devils
Picked me up, brought to Your level
Now I'm fixed on the imagery
Two hands always under me
Most days I'm keeping my head up
Keeping my head up, keeping my head up
I just can't wait to give in
Just can't wait to again
Just can't wait
Just can't wait
Hold me up, Holy Ghost
Check my heart when I won't let go
If I had the money and a little more home
If I had it all would it make me whole
But I'm not sure, save my soul
I don't want the world if it means I don't have You
You
Came down and stood to my devils
Picked me up, brought to Your level
Your level
Hold me up, Holy Ghost
Check my heart when I won't let go
If I had the money and a little more home
If I had it all would it make me whole
But I'm not sure, save my soul
I don't want the world if it means I don't have You
You
Came down and stood to my devils
Picked me up, brought to Your level
Your level
