Itâs the colour of my voice
Itâs 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
Weâre still just holding, holding on for dear life.
Youâre messing up again
Youâve lost your only friend
Things are not so simple
You just canât seem to win
Thatâs the way it is
And thatâs the way itâs 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 youâre breathing I will be the air,
And after Iâm 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 thatâs the way it is
And thatâs the way itâs been
Try to understand it
Itâs 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 youâre breathing I will be the air,
And after Iâm 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 thatâs 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 thatâs true
You gotta wash it all away, you gotta wash it all away.
As long as youâre breathing I will be the air,
And after Iâm gone you will still feel me there,
I can solve all your problems and let you know I care.
Itâs the colour of my voice
Itâs 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.
