Hang On

"Hang On" is the seventh track and second single from Hurley. 
===Appearances===
*Hurley (2010)
==Overview==
Actor Michael Cera plays mandolin and provides backing vocals on "Hang On." In an interview, Cuomo stated that the songwriting collaboration was the result of co-writer Rick Nowels playing the song's chord progression, with Cuomo following up with the song's melody and lyrics.
To date, "Hang On" has been performed live only twice, during the last two tour dates on Weezer's 2010 Tour.
A new radio mix of the song was recorded in 2010 and debuted in early February of 2011, omitting the album version's mandolin instrumentation in favor of electric guitar. This mix features a guitar solo and a lyric not present in the original song ("We'll be so happy we waited, hang on").
Weezer performed the song in the episode "You, Me, and Weezer" of the TV series The Hard Times of RJ Berger.

==Lyrics==
Someday I'll be coming for you
You'll know what I'm wanting to do
I'll know the words to say
To draw you in so close to me
Over and over
We swore it was over
But just like wild clover
Love grows at light speed
Hang on 'til I see you again
I'm going to be more than a friend
You know that this isn't the end
So hang on (hang on, hang on, hang on)
This was just a very first start
There's more that I hold in my heart
I'm waiting for a chance
To show you how I long to be
Over and over
We swore it was over
But just like I'm solar
You warm up to me
Hang on 'til I see you again
I'm going to be more than a friend
You know that this isn't the end
So hang on (hang on, hang on, hang on)
Hang on 'til the break of the day
We'll cast all our troubles away
You know that this isn't the end
So hang on (hang on, hang on, hang on)
Sweet thing
As long as I'm breathing
And my heart is still beating
I'm gonna be coming for you
Hang on, hang on, hang on
Hang on, hang on, hang on
Hang on 'til I see you again
I'm going to be more than a friend
You know that this isn't the end
So hang on (hang on, hang on, hang on)
Hang on 'til the break of the day
We'll cast all our troubles away
You know that this isn't the end
So hang on (hang on, hang on, hang on)
