James McVey - Hold On To The Times

Nights like this
Only remind me
That i’ll never be able to back in time
And hold you tightly

Roads like this they just remind me
That i’ll never be there again
By your side when i was tiny

When i walk past an old guy smoking
Puffing it from a pipe it’s almost like
It’s you in that moment

And rooms like this with artex ceilings
All they do is go and remind me that i’m, i’m still healing

And i can’t stop the years from rolling on

The thing i find about time is it’s impatient
You close your eyes the speed of life keeps on racing
I can keep a moment in a photograph but
All i can really do is look at that
I know ‘til i die that i can’t hold you
So i hold on to the times

Suits like this are so uncomfortable, the last time i had one on i held nan’s arm at your funeral
And scotch line this takes me to sixteen, when mum came home to find you and i drunk on whiskey
And i can’t stop the years from rolling on …
