Holding On

A million and one thousand things are screaming in my head And I can’t seem to forget, can’t stop thinking about you I could ride across the sky in a bicycle built for two Could you teach me how to ride, like you taught me how to feel alive? And not a single day goes by when I don’t wish for you To watch me pause to find the words to steal your heart away But I’ll play every word back round and round to try and find A clue you might have left behind to say you feel the same And even if I know I’ll never be your Leo I’ll keep holding on A hundred and three thousand ghosts are laughing in my dreams My eyes are failing me, everywhere I look I see you I could bake a chocolate cake for you with tiers up to the moon Could you show me how it’s done, like you showed me how to fall in love? You’ll never see that I’m the one who never left you When you needed me to cry to ‘cos your heart got broke again So I’ll play until the strings on my guitar give out, And I’ll be aching from the pain of trying to pretend And even if I know I’ll never be your Leo I’ll keep holding on --- Holding On - Alex Day
