Hold On

Walk off the Earth's song "Hold On" is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the enduring hope that comes with trying to mend a broken relationship. The lyrics convey a deep sense of regret and longing, as the narrator reflects on a past relationship that has fallen apart. The opening lines, "I never wanted it to break / I thought we put it all behind us," set the tone for a narrative steeped in sorrow and a desire to reconcile. The repeated refrain, "I'm calling out to find you," underscores the desperation and determination to reconnect with a lost love.

The song also delves into the idea that the grass isn't always greener on the other side. The lines, "You gotta hold to what you got babe / It ain't always greener on the other side ya know," serve as a reminder to appreciate what one has rather than constantly seeking something better. This sentiment is further emphasized by the acknowledgment that while they may not be rich, their love is invaluable: "We ain't rich but we worth a lot babe." This juxtaposition of material wealth and emotional richness highlights the song's core message about the true value of love and companionship.

In the bridge, the lyrics take a more introspective turn, with the narrator admitting their mistakes and reminiscing about happier times, such as the bonfire. The metaphorical language, like "you've been the ocean to my pearl," adds a layer of poetic depth, illustrating the profound impact the relationship has had on the narrator's life. The song concludes with a reaffirmation of love and a plea for reconciliation, encapsulated in the lines, "I'll love ya love ya love ya like that / Never wanted it to break." This ending leaves listeners with a sense of hope and the possibility of healing and renewal.
