Waiting for the morning hour Desperate for a good nights sleep In dreams I do not have the power To open up my mouth and speak Got a date with fifty two cards Divide by seven nights of the week Two for family two for our children Two for you and one is split by three
I have been sinking I have been drifting Tried to touch the bottom of the sea I have been holding on Like nobody else is holding on to me
So I try to make words rhyme Keep my life with song in time I see the shared effect Pieces of the hope I find On your face and in the lines That seasons did not forget But life is not over yet
I have been learning The cycles of the past just keep on turning Even in the shadows of the Sun And I have been holding on Like somebody else is holding on to me
Well, there is a little bit of hope in this idea of mine.
As the lyric progresses the character realizes that all this energy he has put into "holding on like no body else was holding on to me" is actually selfish.
As it turns out, thru mans life, if he is able to remember the love he has from friends family and especially his Mom, you find that not only were you NOT holding on but that others were actually carrying your lazy ass :)
Yes, that transition takes awhile...I'm still workin' on it (haha)... Seems that we were all put "down here" to get over ourselves, don't ya think?!... Looks like a good song you got there!...
