Tekst piosenki 'Holding On Is Holding You Back' wykonawcy Push Baby

Alright, alright
Settle down, settle down
Yeah
Yeah
Oh yeah

In these times I'm surprised I've let these things end in a mess
I've bottled it up so much its infected my head
But it's hard to write it down on a page
With someone else holding the pen

And now I'm left with no inhibitions, it's only myself to please
There's only so many dicks you can suck
'Til your knees start to bleed
And your jaw starts to lock as you mumble
Set me free!

It's like I was a child in a supermarket
Someone was holding me by the collar so I didn't get lost
And I was stuck by the fruit and veg section screaming
Has anyone seen my dad? I don't know where he is!

And so for a while, it seemed like I was wandering around
Tryna figure out what it all means like
Why are we here?
What do I believe?
Why did I hand over the power to
A corporation that lost control of my dreams? but

Out of the blue, I got a text from Zac
I told him my situation and I cant relax and he said
I think you'll be surprised how much holding on
Is holding you back!

Yeah
It's holding you back
Yeah

It's holding you back from the things that you like
It's holding you back so you cant see the light
It's holding you back
It's holding you back

So, I was 16 with a head full of dreams
And I was telling Danny it'll be me
You'll see on that arena stage, there's people going insane
And ill try to get Ari's number, mate
But you're twice her age

And then came a couple of years where I was lost
I was bumming around
Reminiscing about the top of the pops saying
Hey! I made it once, I got to the top!
Yeah, and now you're depressed just because you got dropped

But I've learnt to face the music and dance
Even if the rhythm is off and you can't control your hands
Even when your money hits zero and you're begging for fans
And when the man with the briefcase says you can't
You fucking can!

And it's a tough code to crack to realize the journey is where is at
And I still have to say to myself
I think you'd be surprised how much holding on, young man
Is holding you back

It's holding you back
Yeah, it's holding you back

It's holding you back from the things that you like
It's holding you back so you can't see the light
It's holding you back
It's holding you back

If you're holding on to something, let it go
Don't fight the feeling, oh no
If you're holding on to something, let it go
Don't fight the feeling, oh no

Now, I hope you don't take this as me saying: I've made it
Because made it is subjective
But I've learnt that making it is all about happiness
That's the main objective

And I guess maybe I just had a shift in perspective
So now it's up to me to sit back and relax
And no longer focus on the things that I lack, and thanks to Zac
I finally come to realize that holding on

You get what I'm saying
If you're holding on to something, let it go (Yeah! Get it now!)
Don't fight the feeling, oh no (It's holding you back)

It's holding you back from the things that you like
It's holding you back so you can't see the light

(If you're holding to something, let it go)
It's holding you back
It's holding you back
(Don't fight the feeling, oh no)
