Holding On - Jill Hennessy
Pillars of highway keep on pulsing
And something gray hangs in the air
Lead your shadow to the strip mall
Pay the girl to bleach your hair
You stare out through the driver's side for some connection
And give a smile but she don't care
Oh give me back the part of me that's gone
Just sing me something full of grace right now
Oh please hold me 'cause I can't keep holding on
Oh holding on
Oh holding on
Picture perfect parties
So many bosses sailing in
With their eyes that look right through you
Talk and patience wearing thin
You're beloved in this family
Just until the bids stop coming in
Oh give me back the part of me that's gone
Just sing me something full of grace right now
Oh please hold me 'cause I can't keep holding on
Oh holding on
There's still truth being shouted from the playgrounds
But cross the street and find the color line's still drawn
It'd be nice to think that we're all going somewhere
Keep on moving 'til you lay your dead dreams down
Smiling lily serves up coffee with hard rain
Playing softly the australian speaks italian as he goes
And the actors sit in circles telling stories
As the sun crawls up the mountain
Down the canyon
Painted rose
There's a song I left in New York I couldn't hold
She's swinging in the park 'til I get home
Oh give me back the part of me that's gone
Just sing me something full of grace right now
Oh please hold me 'cause I can't keep holding on
Oh holding on
I can't keep
Oh holding on oh
I can't keep holding holding on
Holding on
I can't keep holding on holding on
Can't keep holding on holding on holding on
