[Verse 1]

There's 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]

Don't read the last page

But I stay when you're lost and I’m scared and you're turnin' away

I want your midnights

But I'll be cleanin' up bottles with you on New Year's Day

[Verse 2]

You squeeze my hand three times in the back of the taxi

I can tell that it's gonna be a long road

I'll 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 it's hard or it's wrong or we're makin’ mistakes

I want your midnights

But I'll be cleanin' up bottles with you on New Year's 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, don't ever become a stranger

Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere

Please, don't ever become a stranger

Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere

[Verse 3]

There's 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]

Don't read the last page

But I stay when it's hard or it's wrong or we're makin' mistakes

I want your midnights

But I'll be cleanin' up bottles with you on New Year's 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, don't 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, don't 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)
