this is your first attempt to go back home again
it was almost breaking you down
this is your first attempt to be responsible
it was almost breaking her down

hold on in the rye, Holden

well, you misheard the words, that might have saved the girl
it was almost breaking her down
please stay there on the cliff and try to catch these kids
if it´s almost breaking you down....

....hold on in the rye, Holden

she´s barely aware of the dangers out there
but it´s her life and it´s her song
stop holding on

stop holding on in rye, Holden
