I was young, I'd seen it all
|
A cemetery in the middle of a super mall
|
I went to school, I never learned
|
How it feels, how everything you love can burn
|
And it never stops, it's all I got
|
And I never know when to turn
|
Like a merry-go-round, it all comes around again
|
|
[Chorus]
|
And I don't know why I'm here
|
I don't know where I'll go
|
If I don't give it time, how can this garden grow?
|
I don't know what I've lost and I don't know where to get it back
|
But I'm holdin' on
|
Yes, I'm holdin' on for as long as I can
|
|
I moved away, I left the band
|
I saw it coming, it was written on the back of my hand
|
And every day, I could feel something missing
|
I went home to get a record deal
|
And my mother said, "You're theirs to your dead,
|
To them, it's just another meal."
|
Now I'm fat with regret, I'm placing my bet on me
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
It's not over yet, no, it's not even close
|
My heart is younger, stronger than 100 cowards in a row
|
And all my curiosity will keep me asking, "What went wrong?"
|
When it's all done, when it's gone,
|
No, it won't be long 'til I'm traveling back in time
|
To a place when I was mine
|
|
I don't know why I'm here
|
I don't know where I'll go
|
If I don't give it time, how can this garden grow?
|
I don't know what I've lost and I don't know where to get it back
|
But I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on
|
I'm holdin' on for as long as I can
|
|

Holdin' On
