[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
Theres glitter on the floor after the party
~#**************#~
Girls carryin’ their shoes down in the lobby
~#**************#~
Candle wax and Polaroids on the hardwood floor
~#**************#~
You and me from the night before, but
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Dont read the last page
~#**************#~
But I stay when youre lost and I’m scared and youre turnin away
~#**************#~
I want your midnights
~#**************#~
But Ill be cleanin up bottles with you on New Years Day
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
You squeeze my hand three times in the back of the taxi
~#**************#~
I can tell that its gonna be a long road
~#**************#~
Ill be there if you’re the toast of the town, babe
~#**************#~
Or if you strike out and you’re crawlin home
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Don’t read the last page
~#**************#~
But I stay when its hard or its wrong or were makin’ mistakes
~#**************#~
I want your midnights
~#**************#~
But Ill be cleanin up bottles with you on New Years Day
~#**************#~
[Refrain]
~#**************#~
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
~#**************#~
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
~#**************#~
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
~#**************#~
And I will hold on to you
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
Please, dont ever become a stranger
~#**************#~
Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere
~#**************#~
Please, dont ever become a stranger
~#**************#~
Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere
~#**************#~
[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
Theres glitter on the floor after the party
~#**************#~
Girls carryin their shoes down in the lobby
~#**************#~
Candle wax and Polaroids on the hardwood floor
~#**************#~
You and me forevermore
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Dont read the last page
~#**************#~
But I stay when its hard or its wrong or were makin mistakes
~#**************#~
I want your midnights
~#**************#~
But Ill be cleanin up bottles with you on New Years Day
~#**************#~
[Refrain]
~#**************#~
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
~#**************#~
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
~#**************#~
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
~#**************#~
And I will hold on to you (Hold on)
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
Please, dont ever become a stranger
~#**************#~
(To the memories, they will hold on to you)
~#**************#~
Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere
~#**************#~
(Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you)
~#**************#~
Please, dont ever become a stranger
~#**************#~
(Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you)
~#**************#~
Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere
~#**************#~
(And I will hold on to you)
