The Great Gatsby the Musical - Better Hold Tight Lyrics
The song is written by Jason Howland and Nathan Tysen.
NICK: (spoken)
Be honest,
Would you have even danced with me
If we met at an officer’s ball?
JORDAN: (spoken)
Would you have let me lead?
NICK:
I’d prefer it!
Could it be 1917?
Have we stepped inside a time machine?
JORDAN:
Something out of H. G. Wells?
Or another one of Gatsby’s spells
NICK:
I think I see stars aligning
JORDAN:
Or my standards are declining
NICK:
No- you’re learning
To spot what you need
When to follow and when to-
JORDAN:
-keep following
Oh, who’d have thought
You’d be clinging to a cloud?
NICK:
I have to hold tight
or it might fly away
JORDAN:
You know, I can’t help that
I rise above the crowd
NICK:
And I wouldn’t want it any other way!
JORDAN:
So you better hold tight
Or I might fly away
Never thought you were my style
Oh, keep me dizzy for a while
NICK:
Maybe it’s the uniform?
JORDAN:
Maybe it’s the dress I’ve never worn
BOTH:
You just might be my undoing
I do think there’s something brewing
What we do might be telling you
I rather like that look on you
Never thought
I’d hold starlight in my hand
You better hold tight (Why?)
Or I might fly away (Might fly away)
NICK:
You know,
I could never afford
A satin chain (That’s true!)
Better make my advance
Before the last dance starts to play
You better hold tight
JORDAN:
You better hold tight
BOTH:
We better hold tight
Before this flies away
Flies away
