"Holdin' Out" lyrics - THE LUMINEERS

Singing to myself
Singing for the neighbours
Holdin' on for work
Holdin' on to paper

I was on the left
You were only fading
I was on my own
Starin' at the ceiling

Holdin', holdin' out

Read it on a map
Never how I planned it
Holdin' on for work
Taking it for granted

I was looking up
I was being blinded
Holdin' on for work
Hopin' that I'd find it

I was looking up
Holding on to patience
Counting up the days
Days that I'd been waiting

You can take your time
I'll be on the front horse
Keep it on alive
You can see it if you look for it

I would lie awake at night
Hopin' that one day I'd run
I have waited all my life

I was holdin'
Holding you
I was holdin'
Waited for you
Waited for
