KAWALA Hold Back The Years Lyrics
This is it, it’s the turning of the tide
Waves will wash away the way you look tonight
This is something that you cannot defy
Oh, we hold back the years to survive
Oh, we hold back the years so that all that we fear slips on by
Try so hard to hide your face
But you can’t stop what’s already underway
You’re holding on but there’s no need to be afraid
Oh, we hold back the years to delay
Oh, we hold back the years so that all that we fear slips away
All this will change
But your mind will stay the same age
You’re your possession
Gold rings and denim
Lose all expression
And fade away
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Shallow, shallow, shallow, hollow lookalikes
Your hunger never satisfies your appetite
All this’ll change, all this’ll change overnight
Oh, we hold back the years to survive
Oh, we hold back the years so that all that we fear slips on by
