"Hang In There"
4,160This all took about 2.5 hours to put together. It was just some simple idea that I had to grasp while it was on my mind. Plus I thought maybe some of you needed to hear it, I don't know. Possibly the corniest thing I've ever done on this channel, so beware.
The melody is influenced heavily by a Fastball song called "Sweetwater, Texas". Who am I kidding, the verse is practically identical. But I figured a melody that nice deserved to be heard more than that song probably ever will. It was always my favorite song on the album. Anyway.
Lyrics:
Sometimes the crap's stacked to the sky
And you don't know what to feel
From here I see the tear in your eye
That you could not conceal
Hang in there
You've held on for so long
Take a breath of that sweet fresh air
Maybe tomorrow and you will get along
Just hang in there
How many times did you tell yourself
Once so long ago
You were so sure there was no way out
Because then you didn't really know
Hang in there
You've held on for so long
Take a breath of that sweet fresh air
And never doubt you are strong
Just hang in there
I've been around long enough to know
The value of 24 hours
And free will is the closest thing
We will ever see to superpowers
Hang in there
You've held on for so long
Take a breath of that sweet fresh air
'Cause I know you can do no wrong
Hang in there
So many lives you will touch
Believe me because I swear
I love you so damn much
So baby hang in there
