something to hold onto

Singer:wailin' jennys, the

there's a light on in your house

but you're not home today

and each time i come on by you seem so far away

can you give me some reason to hold on

can you give me some reason to stay

got some friends knocking on my door

wondering where i've been

tired of mining for your heart

i've come up for air again

can you give me some reason to hold on

can you give me some reason to stay

stay

now i'm going away

will i leave you crying

it's been 40 days but this love is dying

i've searched all around for something

something to hold onto

and a reason to stay

so i'm cashing in your promises

gonna leave without a sound

got a broken heart and aching head

cause i know you can't be found can you give me some reason to hold on

can you give me some reason to stay

stay

now i'm going away

will i leave you crying

it's been 40 days but this love is dying

i've searched all around for something

something to hold onto

and a reason to stay

stay

now i'm going away

will i leave you crying

it's been 40 days but this love is dying

i've searched all around for something

something to hold onto

and a reason to stay

something to hold onto

and a reason to stay
