Commentary:
"Holding On" is a really old song I wrote when I was 17. It's not an amazing song by any means, but it was the first song I decided to label a "Five Times August" song. I recorded it in my bedroom through a minidisc recorder then dubbed over more guitar parts on my computer, which was how I used to record my early songs. The lyrics for this song aren't very good, but hey, I was just figuring things out! "Making glass with the sands of time" -- oh how deep! The melody wasn't too bad though."

Lyrics:

HOLDING ON
(Skistimas)

Another song is sung to you
It turns away, you wonder too
And I'm lost in the park
Another hour has passed you by
It told a lie, you wonder why
And I'm lost in the dark

Losing you with this attitude
I've got you running
Letting go, you don't even know
You've lost your loving

Where haven't I been?
Why haven't I sat down and thought to myself
Another rainy day and it's gettin' kind of late for love
But I'm still holding on, holding on

In another life she had me down
But in this one she left this town
Now I'm falling away
Making glass with the sands of time
I only thought she'd end up mine
Now I'll never be the same

Losing you with this attitude
I've got you running
Letting go, you don't even know
You've lost your loving

Where haven't I been?
Why haven't I sat down and thought to myself
Another rainy day and it's gettin' kind of late for love
But I'm still holding on, holding on
