Still Holding

[sg1-tay-po-ft-wids-02-14] [LS.v3.3.2026.0718R] [Intro] [syncopated_low_drum_pulse, sustained_synth_string_bed] [Verse 1] [close_word_forward_lead, muted_electric_guitar_texture] At your sister’s table, your hand brushes mine, I half-smile like it means what it used to. You refill my drink when her husband looks over, Then leave your hand there a second too long. [Chorus] [full_kick_and_snare, deeper_bass_body, wider_guitar_synth_blend] [close_vocal_double] Still holding, still holding, still holding so tight. For everyone watching, we make it look right. [Verse 2] [retained_low_drum_pulse, gradual_bright_percussion] [clipped_guitar_motion, lead_vocal_inside_the_band] I watch you laugh with the ease they expect, Your voice catches once, but no one clocks it. Alone in the car, with no one to play to, I don’t ask, and you don’t reach for the radio. [Chorus] [stronger_rock_drum_body, wider_electric_guitars] [low_supporting_harmony, retained_syncopated_pulse] Still holding, still holding, still holding so tight. No one is watching, but we make it look right. [Bridge] [near_vocal_exposure, reduced_low_pulse, dark_synth_hold] Your sister is sleeping in the room down the hall. One hard word and she’ll ask what happened. [Final Chorus] [complete_rock_drum_body, electric_bass_and_synth_bass] [widest_guitar_synth_body, layered_background_vocals] [independent_background_vocal_movement] Still holding, still holding, still holding so tight. No one is watching, but we make it look right. Still holding, still holding, your fingers leave mine. Not a word and not a question— still holding what won’t stay. [Outro] [rapid_band_withdrawal, brief_synth_string_residue] [clear_terminal_ending] [end]
