"Holding You" is the seventh track on the album Wake Me.
Background
"Holding You" is one of Grey Daze's earliest songs. The guitar parts were written by the band's first guitarist, Steve Mitchell, before they even had a vocalist.[1]
On October 6, 1994, the very first day of working on Wake Me, the album's producer David Knauer recorded Grey Daze playing live in his studio to see what they had in store for their debut album. He recorded their performance straight to DAT tape and had Chester say the name of every song so it was documented on tape as well.[2] "Holding You" was among the songs that made the album.
Under a new lineup consisting of Chester Bennington, Bobby Benish, Mace Beyers and Sean Dowdell, the band had their first pre-production sessions for their second studio album in February 1996 with David Knauer. There, they recorded a new version of "Holding You". The album, however, was shelved due to lack of funds to finish the studio time.[1]

Lyrics
Yeah
Endless hopes, well
That's too bad
Smile happy,
Enjoy my pain
Hoping I can find
What we never had
Never holding you
It makes me
100% is where it lies
Behind the tide
Inside the ocean
Inside your ocean
Frozen is the present past, oh
Made of stone, but breaks like glass, so
Take me now to where I want to go
Thoughts astray but who will know
In a dream, it seems
Just to hold my hand
Shaking, no release
Stop me,
Stop me if you can
Endless hopes, well
That's too bad
Smile happy,
Enjoy my pain
Hoping I can find what we never had
Never holding you, it makes me...
100% is where it lies
Behind the tide
Inside the ocean
Inside your ocean
In a dream, it seems
Just to hold my hand
Shaking, no release
Stop me,
Stop me
Stop me
Stop me if you can
