Lyrics of Holding On by Bootleg Rascal
As I walked up and into your house
Fate looked me in the eye
And showed me too much
All in all, that I refused to see
Holding on to the less
Looking forward the rest
Faded photos on the wall
But I was blinded by your towering calls
And I′ve been holding on for a better day
Looking to the sky for a quick escape
We'll never see eye to eye
And look around can′t you see
You're running backwards over dreams
Or so, it seems to be getting old
You're becoming cold
Don′t fall victim to the pressure
Stick to the letter
And just know when to fold
But I was blinded by your tiring calls
And I′ve been holding on for a better day
Looking to the sky for a quick escape
We'll never see eye to eye
Always holding on for a better day
Looking to the sky for a quick escape
Unplant my feet just to walk away
Don′t push me to the edge
Leaving me in my dreams
I've got the power to break this hold
You′ve been out of control
Trying to stumble on home
In the middle of this storm
Run away
Run away
We'll never see eye to eye
Run away
And I′ve been holding on for a better day
Looking to the sky for a quick escape
We'll never see eye to eye
Always holding on for a better day
Looking to the sky for a quick escape
Unplant my feet just to walk away
And I've been holding on for a better day
Lately things don′t feel the same
And I′ve been holding on for a better day
Burn my cards and walk away
And I've been holding on for a better day
