Stars - Hold On When You Get Love And Let Go When You Give It Lyrics






There's been a lot of talk of love
But that don't amount to nothing
You can evoke the stars above
But that doesn't make it something

And the only way to last
And the only way to live it
Is to hold on when you get love,
And let go when you give it... give it.

It's a pretty melody
It might help you through the night time
But it doesn't make it easy
To leave the party at the right time

If I'm frightened, if I'm high
It's my weakness please forgive it
At least I hold on when I get love,
And I let go when I give it... give it... give it.

What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
Hold on when you get love,
What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
Hold on when you get love.
What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
And you let go when you give it.
What do I do?

The world won't listen to this song
And the radio won't play it
But if you like it sing along
Sing 'cause you don't know how to say it

Take the weakest thing in you
And then beat the bastards with it
And always hold on when you get love,
So you can let go when you give it.

Take the weakest thing in you
And then beat the bastards with it
And always hold on when you get love,
So you can let go when you give it... give it... give it.

What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
Hold on when you get love
What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
And you let go when you give it
What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
Hold on when you get love
What do I do?

I know it's true, please don't think I do
Nothing that you say or do will make you love me
Forget the song, things will go on
I keep seeing you from the dark with you above me

I know it's true, please don't think I do
Nothing that you say or do will make you love me
Forget the song, things will go on
I keep seeing you from the dark with you above me

Take the weakest thing in you
And then beat the bastards with it
And always hold on when you get love,
So you can let go when you give it.
Give it... give it... give it... give it... give it... give it.

  1. T.... S....

    I thought this was the Postal Service when this came out who I liked but assumed The Stars sounded like Broken Social Scene so I didn't like them at the time. Too bad cuz I actually liked this song haha. Postal Service did not play it at their 2013 reunion sooo that was a tip off.

  2. b.... ....

    Very similar to new order..there is a little of 80'music style....reminds me new order and pet shop boys..if the other songs are like this they got a new fan.

  37. M.... B....

    song of the day: 01/09/2015: This our September, the first of which was a contradistinctive graywash.... and all the mute feelings gather their strength, invigorated by the lightlessness. What summer long ago were my pants matching his on stage, watching STARS perform at Dundas square and the dripping juice had my hand all sticky, and I couldn't let go.... I still see you in that silver blue light, and I can't let go.

    M.... B....

    Lovely.

  38. k.... a....

    best song of 2012.how are they not famous?

    k.... a....

    +kirk arnold cause they are canadian...it's annoying how many underrated canadian bands there is.

    k.... a....

    It's not that they're Canadian. They branched off from Broken Social Scene just like Metric and Feist. Whether it's because they were overshadowed or made different decisions, it wasn't because they're Canadian.

    k.... a....

    Canadian culture esp music is really great.

    k.... a....

    kirk arnold because people don’t know good music these days. There are so many real artist out here making great music that should be #1s

  39. d.... ....

    Me gusta!!!!!! :)

  40. E.... R....

    this song makes me regret my choices, i miss him.

  41. s.... ....

    vre aei sto diaolo

  43. s.... ....

    s.... ....

    @starzzzy true :)

  44. q.... ....

    Bass OP.

  45. M.... T....

    Amy takes this great song to the top.

  46. D.... ....

    The architect in me recognizes Habitat 67.

    D.... ....

    It's a distorted photograph of Habitat 67, I believe

  47. H.... K....

    really love the voice of the girl, coldddddd

  48. b.... ....

    Listentothis.

  49. s.... ....

    you can evoke the stars above, but that don't mean a thing...

  50. C.... H....

    haha 22 XD

  51. C.... H....

    been a fan of stars since I was 14..love them soo much<3

  52. s.... ....

    Yes, I see what you mean. I was wrong, "TheEverGLo"

  53. T.... ....

    definitely female... Amy Millan is an angel. Google her

  54. A.... ....

    Love this!

  55. H.... K....

    I love the second voice during chorus. So cold voice...

  56. h.... ....

    the chorus sounds like Kate Bush

  57. s.... ....

    :) Know how ya feel!

  58. r.... ....

    i loveeee!

  59. i.... ....

    not really

  60. s.... ....

    love this song and I don't hear a female voice. I hear a guy in falsetto

    s.... ....

    It's Amy Milan tho.

  61. A.... ....

    Just realized why the female vocal line sounded so familiar......it's almost identical to the chorus in Kate Bush's "This Woman's Work". Same key, even. Oh well. It's still a lovely song, but now I can't stop hearing Kate Bush. Look it up if you think I'm being crazy.

    A.... ....

    & the drums in Running up that hill

  62. K.... ....

    that really won't even scratch the bastard

  63. 1.... ....

    I think that line may have just saved my life.

  65. R.... B....
