My Reply (in Album So Long, Astoria) Lyrics

My Reply (in Album So Long, Astoria)

got your letter and the poetry you sent me

postmarked in december of last
year

i really hope you're doing better

all your friends close by
your side

one step closer to recovery



i wish there was
something i could say

to erase each and every page

you've been
through

even though its not my place to save you



i
appreciate but cant accept this thank you note

thats sealed with your
last breath

and i won't stand aside

and listen to you give up



if you'll just hold on for one more second

just hold on to what
you have

just hold on just hold on

if you'll just hold on for one
more second

just hold on to what you have

just hold on just hold
on



these arms remain stretched out to you

maybe someday
you'll accept them

maybe its too late to save a young girls heart that
slowly stopped beating

(maybe)



wake up wake up you've gotta
believe

wake up wake up

you cant give up time keeps going on
without us

long after we're dead and gone



i wish there was
something i could say

to erase each and every page

you've been
through

even though its not my place to save you



i
appreciate but cant accept this thank you note

thats sealed with your
last breath

and i won't stand aside

and listen to you give up

if you'll just hold on for one more second



just hold on to what
you have

just hold on just hold on

if you'll just hold on for one
more second

just hold on to what you have

just hold on just hold on
