lyrics
Barely Holding On
Well you can spend your whole life trying to work it out
Never gets any easier to shake the doubt
30 plus worth of living done the best I can
Made a buck, gotten stuck, had to lose a friend
My heads in a haze going round and round
Leaves you wondering never knowing up from down
And I never knew where I should start
Spent most of my days chasing love and art
Oh I wish the world could save me
Make me whole
Or make it feel like home
Why’s it so damn hard to find
A little piece of heaven where the moment’s right
It’s just so goddamn short then gone
I’m trying to tread water barely holding on
When I wake in the morning and I feel afraid
Getting tempted by the mirror and the razor blade
And you think to yourself “should I take the dive”?
“Can I jump in the water, make it out alive”?
Oh I wish the world could save me
Make me whole
Or make it feel like home
Why’s it so damn hard to find
A little piece of heaven where the moment’s right
It’s just so goddamn short then gone
I’m trying to tread water barely holding on
Well the story keeps going no end in sight
Nothing left here to do, but to ride the ride
And when your heart stops beating and you’re underground
Was it a life worth living, what are you worth now?
Why’s it so damn hard to find
A little piece of heaven where the moment’s right
It’s just so goddamn short then gone
I’m trying to tread water barely holding on
Well you can spend your whole life trying to work it out
Never gets any easier to shake the doubt
30 plus worth of living done the best I can
Made a buck, gotten stuck, had to lose a friend
My heads in a haze going round and round
Leaves you wondering never knowing up from down
And I never knew where I should start
Spent most of my days chasing love and art
Oh I wish the world could save me
Make me whole
Or make it feel like home
Why’s it so damn hard to find
A little piece of heaven where the moment’s right
It’s just so goddamn short then gone
I’m trying to tread water barely holding on
When I wake in the morning and I feel afraid
Getting tempted by the mirror and the razor blade
And you think to yourself “should I take the dive”?
“Can I jump in the water, make it out alive”?
Oh I wish the world could save me
Make me whole
Or make it feel like home
Why’s it so damn hard to find
A little piece of heaven where the moment’s right
It’s just so goddamn short then gone
I’m trying to tread water barely holding on
Well the story keeps going no end in sight
Nothing left here to do, but to ride the ride
And when your heart stops beating and you’re underground
Was it a life worth living, what are you worth now?
Why’s it so damn hard to find
A little piece of heaven where the moment’s right
It’s just so goddamn short then gone
I’m trying to tread water barely holding on
