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 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 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 (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...
