03/28/2021 – J-Dub's Grin and Bear It

Jim prompts us with Endless/Eternity/Everlasting/Forever/Infinity/Omega. Boy what choices! A few 80s classic popped right into my head but I decided to look for something new. That’s when I stumbled across this gem “Hold On Forever” written & performed by Rob Thomas. Not new but new to me. The song is peppy and upbeat despite the lyrics. Making it through the tough times with your bae or boo or whatever it is the kids call their forever person these days.

“Hold On Forever”

Another night and here we are again
All our faults laid out ahead
Let it out, then let it right back in
All those voices in your head

And we both know everything, but we can’t learn to leave
So I’ll tell you what you need

First thing: we make you feel better
Next stop: we pull it all together
I’ll keep you warm like a sweater
Take my hand, hold on forever
Just fall apart if you need to
I’m here and I won’t leave you now
Don’t look down
Hold on forever

Lay down all your troubles end to end
They could reach up to the stars
So many roads, you don’t know where you’ve been
But you still know who you are

And if I seem preoccupied, I’m wondering what to do
So here’s my recipe for you

And we both know everything, but we can’t learn to leave
So I’ll tell you what you need
