I was young, I'd seen it all A cemetery in the middle of a super mall I went to school, I never learned How it feels, how everything you love can burn And it never stops, it's all I got And I never know when to turn Like a merry-go-round, it all comes around again
And I don't know why I'm here I don't know where I'll go If I don't give it time, how can this garden grow? I don't know what I've lost and I don't know where to get it back But I'm holdin' on Yes, I'm holdin' on for as long as I can
I moved away, I left the band I saw it coming, it was written on the back of my hand And every day, I could feel something missing I went home to get a record deal And my mother said, "You're theirs to your dead, To them, it's just another meal." Now I'm fat with regret, I'm placing my bet on me
And I don't know why I'm here I don't know where I'll go If I don't give it time, how can this garden grow? I don't know what I've lost and I don't know where to get it back But I'm holdin' on Yes, I'm holdin' on for as long as I can
It's not over yet, no, it's not even close My heart is younger, stronger than 100 cowards in a row And all my curiosity will keep me asking, "What went wrong?" When it's all done, when it's gone, No, it won't be long 'til I'm traveling back in time To a place when I was mine
I don't know why I'm here I don't know where I'll go If I don't give it time, how can this garden grow? I don't know what I've lost and I don't know where to get it back But I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on I'm holdin' on for as long as I can
