Who Will I Hold - The Avett Brothers

You slipped through my hands like I did through my dads

Like a river that passes the rocks that its on

I’m bracing for loneliness, I know its coming

Who will I hold when your gone

Now, who will I hold when your gone

Now happiness comes, and it seems much like money

People gather around it

When its gone they go running

I’m trying to be here, lift up to the now

But the past that’s to come pulls me back down

You slipped through my hands like I did through my lovers

Like a river that passes the bed that its on

I’m bracing for loneliness, I know its coming

Who will I hold when your gone

Now, who will I hold when your gone

Now the victims of love, the most hopeless of all

Fortunate prisoners in an infinite war

They turn on themselves, its pure sabotage

Silver spoon babies with tupperware hearts

Silver spoon babies with tupperware hearts

You slipped through my hands like I did through my mama’s

Like a river that passes the rocks that its on

I’m bracing for loneliness, I know its coming

Who will I hold when your gone

Now, who will I hold when your gone

Who will I hold when your gone

Now, who will I hold when your gone
