There's a boy in a car at the top of a hill Looking down at LA He's so close to the stars and the fires that start But he feels far away, far away He thinks that there's something Something that he lost He thinks there is love He knows there is love Holding him back Are the ghosts of embarrassing memories It's in the air It's been holding me back I can't live this way Hey, hold onto me Don't say it's the end of me I'm right here, I'm ready I need this love Then his eyes pull away from the glow of the city at night (It's alright, it's alright) From this place you can see Through fog to the beach and the heights (It's alright, it's alright) There's a girl in a room There's a boy in a full bloom I think they are loved I know they are loved Holding it back 'Cause the notes in the last words you said to me Are in the air I wanna come back to you I can't live this way Hey, hold onto me Don't say it's the end of me I'm right here, I'm ready I need this love
