The Avett Brothers – Who Will I Hold lyrics

[Chorus]
You slipped through my hands
Like I did through my Dad’s
Like a river that passes
The rocks that it’s on
I’m bracing for loneliness
I know it’s comin’
Who will I hold when you’re gone
Now who will I hold you’re gone

[Verse 1]
Now happiness comes
And it seems much like money
People gather around it
When it’s gone they go runnin’
I’m trying to be here
Lift up to the now
But the past has to come
And it pulls me back down

[Chorus]
You slipped through my hands
Like I did through my lover’s
Like a river that passes
The bed that it’s on
I’m bracing for loneliness
I know it’s comin’
Who will I hold when you’re gone
Now who will I hold when you’re gone

[Verse 2]
Now these victims of love
Most hopeless of all
The unfortunate prisoners
In an infinite war
They turn on themselves
It’s pure sabotage
Silver spoon babies with Tupperware hearts
Silver spoon babies with Tupperware hearts

[Chorus]
You slipped through my hands
Like I did through my Mama’s
Like a river that passes
The rocks that it’s on
I’m bracing for loneliness
I know it’s comin’
Who will I hold when you’re gone
Now who will I hold when you’re gone
Who will I hold when you’re gone
Now who will I hold when you’re gone
