holdin' out

singing to myself

singing for the neighbours

holdin' on for work

holdin' on to paper

i was on the left

you were only fading

i was on my own

starin' at the ceiling

hold

holdin' out

read it on a map

never how i planned it

holdin' on for work

taking it for granted

i was looking up

i was being blinded

holdin' on for work

hopin' that i'd find it

i was looking up

holding on to patience

counting up the days

days that i'd been waiting

you can take your time

i'll be on the front porch

keepin' on the light

you can see it if you look for it

i would lie awake at night

hopin' that one day i'd run

i had waited all my life

i was holdin'

holding you

holding

waited for you

waited for
