I'll Hold on to You

Though you may stumble
Sometimes you may fall
You might even feel like
No one’s watching at all
You feel cold and lonely
You’ve been too far from home
Your spirit is broken
You been travellin’ too long
But I’m right here behind ya
Turn around and you’ll see
That I ain’t goin’ nowhere
Baby you can count on me

When you’ve got nothin’ left
Nothin’ to hold on to
You feel the weight of the world
And you feel like it’s comin’ down on you
When you’ve lost everything
Nothin’ that matters to you
You’ve lost your hope and your faith
And you fear it’s too late
And there’s nothin’ to do
Well baby hold on to me
And I’ll be the one you need
Well baby hold on to me
I’ll hold on to you

No one said it’d be easy
There are trials along the way
You gotta keep moving forward
And the dark will fade away
So c’mon pick your head up
Girl, I’m gonna help you find your way
You gotta keep moving forward
And it all will change

When you’ve got nothin’ left
Nothin’ to hold on to
You feel the weight of the world
And you feel like it’s comin’ down on you
When you’ve lost everything
Then it won’t matter to you
You’ve lost your hope and your faith
And you fear it’s too late
And there’s nothin’ to do
Well baby hold on to me
And I’ll be the one you need
Well baby hold on to me
I’ll hold on to you
Well baby hold on to me
I’ll hold on to you

Yeah you’re gonna need somebody
Yeah look over your shoulder, your shoulder
C’mon babe

Yeah if you ever need somebody
Just call my name
And I will comfort you
I will carry you
Yeah babe

Don’t you look no further
Yeah, I’ll be right there
Oh, don’t you look no further

Wow Just Wow! Matt really out did himself with this song. The lyrics are just beautiful and heart wrenching! Matt is one amazing song writer! He just keeps getting better and better. What an incredible musician he is.

Seeing/hearung this song performed live was truly moving. I can't put into words how deeply it impacted me. I have definitely been in that place before (as I'm sure everyone has been at some point) and Matt described the heartache of feeling lost and alone amazingly. Such a beautiful and emotional song!

Thanks Christina for taking the time to figure out the lyrics to all of Matt's music!

His BEST song yet.

This one was actually really easy to figure out because it was so clear.

But hey, if I have to listen to his songs over and over to get the lyrics down, then so be it. I have NOOOO problem with that! LOL

And yes, I'm sooooo glad I was there to hear this in person. He blows me away everytime. I'm pretty confident I will NEVER love any musician as much as I love him.

Me either Christina! There is just something so special about Matt. I think for me it is his passion for music! I'm sure everyone knows by now how much I love 3 Doors Down. They are my favorite band and their music is the story book to my life. But Matt makes me feel the music! He could probably just play the piano and I would be deeply moved! But when you combine that piano playing and then add that voice it becomes impossible not to want to see and hear perform whenever you can!

I can a,so honestly say that I am extremely impressed with his song writing! IMO not only is his music the best music to ever cout of idol but for me is the best music to come out for many years. And he just keeps getting better getting better and better with every new

song!

Jenna and Christina,

I have to agree with both of you. I have never felt such an emotional connection to an artist before, and it is totally out of character for me to be a fangirl. But I can't help it with Matt. I was originally drawn to Matt by his voice, then by the interesting arrangements for some of the songs he did on AI, then by his piano playing and performing on the AI tour. I agree with Jenna that his passion for music is a big part of his appeal. I love when he is performing and he ducks his head down and just focuses on the piano playing. I think I would be a fan even if he weren't such a strong songwriter, but I really love his songs, musically and lyrically. I find it interesting that most of his songs offer hope in difficult situations (even his breakup songs are optimistic!). The fact that he fluidly combines different musical genres, and performs with a guitar band or orchestra or children's choir or concert band with such ease, points to an incredible and versatile musician. The more I see of him, the better he gets.
