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, staring at the ceiling
Holdin’, 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, hoping 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
Keeping on the light, you can see it if you look for it


I would lie awake in the night
Hopin’ that one day I’d run
I had waited all my life


Yeah, I was holdin’ (singing to myself)
Holdin’ you (holdin’ on to work)
Yeah, holdin’ (I was on the left)
Waited for you (I was on my own)
Waited for…
