No Suits. The deep dark depths of KZbin brought me here and I’m soooooooo glad. This is a magical song that the world needs! And I want to give a big shout out to this crazy dancing guy..... you are me in my dreams!!!!

[@sumaiiya7]

Lyrics: I've come here nine times asking you do not make it ten I'm peeling off all the armor that protected my skin Apologize, I'm laying down my ego to rest Could you be mine forever just in case it exists? I think about the old days What we've been through to survive Do we get better with time? Tell me I'm wrong Looking back to the start Who we were when we met This box of pictures tells a story When we fight, we forget And I can barely recognize us Back then we were obsessed Can we cut out this madness and get back to the best? Think about the old days What we've been through to survive Do we get better with time? Tell me I'm wrong I'm looking to you always We follow the same guiding light Passing like ships in the night Can we hang on? Can we hang on? Can we hang on? Can we hang on? Can we hang on? This could've gone either way If one of us had walked If I'd gone off, and you caved in And we broke it off I'd be lost I'd be chasing some broke down dream I'd be bored to death But we cannot stay forever young and out of our heads Out of our heads I'll think about tomorrow If I can get through tonight I know that we'll be alright Can we be strong? I'm looking to you always Even though we're like ships in the night Don't you go passing me by Can we hang on? Can we hang on? Can we hang on? Can we hang on? Can we hang on? You can find it If you're dying to live If you want to know the secret, hang on You can find it If you're dying to live If you want to know the secret, hang on You can find it If you're dying to live If you want to know the secret, hang on

I just can't get over how intense the music and lyrics are yet this simple music video was able to match that intensity. Really good song, I'll be putting this on repeat and singing along for a while.

this is sooo beautiful! your music gets me through so much and I'm really grateful to you guys for it. I love the positive messages you're sending and the sound of the new music. can't wait for the album&the tour!

[@lainycarslaw118]

My husband and I are going through some hard times after 16 years and nothing describes our experience better than this song. Thank you for your words, your deep understanding of the human heart and what it takes to hang on.

[@StaticCollapse]

Mute this video then watch, thank me later 😂

[@nedplimptonzissou98]

I always appreciate their meaningful lyrics. It's rare nowadays. Bring on April 7th!! 🙌🏾

[@steptim1378]

If you love these awesome lyrics and this band is new to you... search for Cold War Kids' Bulldozer... there's a live version video of it on here too. Then familiarize yourself with all of their great, more popular songs...

[@ethanterrymusic7741]

This video is so fucking beautiful. The symbolism is so very raw and basic, and still complex and disguised. People may watch this video and see a tree hugging weed dealer out of a job dancing in the street. But it's simply a man searching for meaning/answers/truth/progress/metamorphosis and he is seen walking a road between the hard, cold, industrialized, confined (fenced off) reality of his past; as everything that he has been through to survive and the beach, where he's been dabbling with the idea of taking a voyage into the brave new...and then retreating to the rocks and back to the street. The road is the divide between what he's hanging on to that prevents him from moving on with life, and what his dreams are made of, and he can be seen walking through the middle of this street dancing at the notion of that freedom, or pounding away at the fence in frustrating endearment. He starts sprinting at the point where the lyrics say "You can find it if you're dying to live. If you want to know the secret hang on". You see him fall but eventually this story leaves us with him standing on the shore with the waves finally at his feet. The title "Can We Hang On?" is a paradoxical irony in and of itself. Can we hang on to the past...please oh can we? or can we hang on for a little longer to learn the secret of happiness.

[@DaMatteBlack]
