It’s the colour of my voice
It’s the weight inside my brain
This life was not my choice
Will you wash away the stains?
If we can only strike
The things within our sights
Keep your life that simple
To make it all seem right.
And then keep on holding, holding on for dear life
We’re still just holding, holding on for dear life.
You’re messing up again
You’ve lost your only friend
Things are not so simple
You just can’t seem to win
That’s the way it is
And that’s the way it’s been
Try to understand it
Just where to begin.
And then keep on holding, holding on for dear life,
just keep on holding, holding on for dear life.
As long as you’re breathing I will be the air,
And after I’m gone you will still feel me there,
I can solve all your problems and let you know I care.
So you have to make a choice
To overcome the pain
And listen to the voice
To bring about some change
Cause that’s the way it is
And that’s the way it’s been
Try to understand it
It’s the only way to win.
And keep on holding, holding on for dear life,
Just keep holding, holding on for dear life.
As long as you’re breathing I will be the air,
And after I’m gone you will still feel me there,
I can solve all your problems and let you know I care.
If the landscape is bare, you can still find a view
The way to repair and find a path that’s true
You gotta wash it all away, you gotta wash it all away.
If the landscape is bare, you can still find a view
The way to repair and find a path that’s true
You gotta wash it all away, you gotta wash it all away.
As long as you’re breathing I will be the air,
And after I’m gone you will still feel me there,
I can solve all your problems and let you know I care.
It’s the colour of my voice
It’s the weight inside my brain
This life was not my choice
Will you wash away the stains?
If we can only strike
The things within our sights
Keep your life that simple
To make it all seem right.
