Holding On
Appears on: Come Home and  Story After Story

Driving home along the Hudson, the water shivers in the night
I look where you live, it draws me in but I don’t want to fight
Making plans for some future heaven, some cocoon for eternal life
We know its crazy but it keeps us sane, it bring the heaviness to light

All the golden tint of our predictions may be exactly what both of us see but
Today is a long, long way from then and who can tell how we will feel, I’m just

Holding on to you
Holding on for some decision to end this impatience
I won’t let go

Three years and counting since we lost our innocence, a heart of gold I had found
But your life was calling, and you had to answer, and I was homeward bound
Suddenly, all the air that I breathed grew thinner in my throat
And with frozen eyes and wondering if I’m living a lie and you so far, so remote

Your touch your voice, the only things that help me make any sense of this
I miss you, all your delight, but what's the difference? Without you here I’m just

Holding on to you
Holding on for some decision to end this impatience
I won’t let go

I’m holding on to you
Holding on for some incision to cut this relation
I won’t let go

Now it seems is never enough, whether were here or apart
And I’ve been thinking way too hard baby, when are you gonna start?
