Bill Osofsky songs
I was lucky enough to get Rob and Mary to help me out with this duet.
HANGING ON
(verse)i
He's got a new red convertible out in their driveway
And stuff from the drugstore to color some premature grey
A photo of when he was State champ still sits on the mantle
And he dreams of the good times when it was all going his way
(chorus)
And he's hanging on, giving all that he's got
Maybe he can fool himself and maybe not
But he just can't face the fact that it's all gone
So he's hanging on
(verse)
She looks at pictures of them so in love at their wedding
She tries on a cocktail dress that's a bit snug on top
She got a call from a guy she was hot with in high school
And now there's thoughts in her head that she wishes would stop
(chorus)
But she's hanging on, giving all that she's got
Maybe she can fool herself and maybe not
But she just can't face the fact that it's all gone
So she's hanging on
(bridge)
He stays out late in a motel in town
Smiles at the moments of youth that he's found
She grabs her pills and she swallows two down
She only cries when the kids aren't around
(chorus)
Andd they're hanging on, giving all they've got
Maybe they can fool themselves and maybe not
They just can't face the fact that it's all gone
No, they can't face the fact that it's all gone
So they're hanging on
