Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Where is my mind? I've lost the nerve
This year flew by without a word
I had a plan to cross the world
But haven't left this island
[Verse 2]
The stores closed down then opened up
I said I'd do a sober month
I failed, but tried, and wrote this drunk
In overwhelming silence
[PreChorus]
And I'll see my friends
When all this ends
But now until then
[Chorus]
I'm holding out for spring
We can't let winter win
That's why I'm holding out for spring
Oh, what a state we're in
I'll keep holding out for spring
[Verse 3]
Homework and cancelled holidays
The blame gets passed to save a face
The smell of last night's takeaway
Just tells me I'm a mess
[Verse 4]
Still watching shows they recommend
That don't get good until the end
I could be unwell, but then again
Maybe I'm just depressed
[PreChorus]
And I'll fix my head
When all this ends
But now until then
[Chorus]
I'm holding out for spring
We can't let winter win
That's why I'm holding out for spring
Oh, what a state we're in
I'll keep holding out for
[Bridge]
Springtime
Blue skies
Frost fades slowly
Crossed my
Mind to linger
[Outro]
And hold out for spring
We can't let winter win
That's why I'm holding out for spring
Oh, what a state we're in
