Stop, take it in and I
Breathe for a minute, I
Think too much when Im alone
I never win when I
Keep all my thoughts inside
So I pick up the phone

And my dad said "Shawn, stay with me
Everything will be alright
I know I havent seen you lately
But youre always on my mind

I dont know what
Youre going through
But theres so much life
Ahead of you
And it wont slow down
No matter what you do
So you just gotta hold on
All we can do is hold on, yeah"

These days are flying by
Weeks feel like minutes, I
Cant remember being small
I try to figure it out
I cant seem to find out how
I guess I dont know much at all

And my dad said "Shawn, stay with me
Everything will be alright
I know I havent seen you lately
But youre always on my mind

I dont know what
Youre going through
But theres so much life
Ahead of you
And it wont slow down
No matter what you do
So you just gotta hold on
All we can do is hold on, yeah
All we can do is hold on
Yeah, you just gotta hold on
Just, just hold on
Just hold on for me"

And my dad said "Shawn, stay with me
Everything will be alright

I dont know what
Youre going through
But theres so much life
Ahead of you
And it wont slow down
No matter what you do
So you just gotta hold on
All we can do is hold on, yeah
Yeah, you just gotta hold on
Just hold on for me"
