Hold On, Grandpa

[Verse 1] I seen that chair by the window Still got his hat on the wall You keep lookin’ at your phone, babe Like he might call You got that hurt in your shoulders Like a coat made outta stone But you ain’t carryin’ this heavy thing On your own [Pre-Chorus] He put good days in your pocket Like change for a rainy week And every time you feel that ache That’s his hands still teachin’ you to speak [Chorus] Hold on, grandpa He’s still in the room Hold on, grandpa In that old cologne and perfume (hold on, grandpa) Hold on, grandpa In the love he gave to you Hold on, grandpa That’s how he walks with you [Verse 2] I know the house feels too quiet When the supper plates are clean And every little corner Keeps playin’ back a scene But he left you that soft fire That don’t go out in the rain When your voice shakes in the dark now It still sounds like his name [Pre-Chorus] He taught you how to stand there When the wind tried to make you bend And every prayer you couldn’t finish He was finishin’ it with you then [Chorus] Hold on, grandpa He’s still in the room Hold on, grandpa In that old cologne and perfume (hold on, grandpa) Hold on, grandpa In the love he gave to you Hold on, grandpa That’s how he walks with you [Bridge] So let the tears fall easy That’s a river, not a shame Love don’t pack up and vanish It just learns a different name You keep the stories goin’ Tell that joke he liked to tell Every time you say “I miss you” You doin’ right by him as well [Final Chorus] Hold on, grandpa He’s still in the room Hold on, grandpa In your laugh and in your mood (hold on, grandpa) Hold on, grandpa In the best of what you do Hold on, grandpa He’s still lovin’ you
