Holdin' On

I was young, I'd seen it all

A cemetery in the middle of a supermall

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

And I don't know why I'm here

I don't know where I'm going

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 how 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 'til you're dead

To them, it's just another meal"

Now I'm fat with regret

I'm placing my bet on me

And I don't know why I'm here

I don't know where I'm going

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 how to get it back

But I'm holdin' on (holdin' on)

Yes, I'm holdin' on (holdin' on)

For as long as I can

It's not over yet, no

It's not even close

My heart is younger, stronger than

One hundred 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

Oh!

I don't know why I'm here

I don't know where I'm going

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 how to get it back

But I'm holdin' on (holdin' on)

I'm holdin' on (holdin' on)

I'm holdin' on (holdin' on)

I'm holdin' on

For as long as I can

For as long as I can

(Holdin' on, holdin' on)

(Holdin' on, holdin' on)

For as long as I can

(Holdin' on, holdin' on)

(Holdin' on, holdin' on)

For as long as I can
