Holding On For Dear Life

Hiding out in Aldo’s bar, with a Texan and a Ballet Star
Someday they’ll burn this place to ashes
Have a nip in spite of me, even Jesus left home at 33
I’ll pick up the car right where I crashed it
But there’s no other place I’d rather be anywhere in this whole world
There’s no other face I’d rather see in front of me but my girl

Well I don’t know what else to do
I’ve got to hold on to something so I’m
Holding on to you
Holding on for dear life
I don’t know what else to do
I’ve got to hold on to something so I’m
Holding on to you
I’m Holding on for dear life, dear life

12 years down the road, half way home to Jericho
Stopped to catch my breath and missed the airbus
Six out of seven seas, and all missed opportunities
Just another wedge to drive between us
Still I can’t help but see, amazing possibilities
I’ll spray paint our names up on the marquee

There’s no other way I’ve got to stay in the place where I belong
Cause it’s not everyday you get to say this is where my head is home

We had a window on the world at one time
We had a diamond on the pier
We had a view of New York City
Well that’s all gone, but we’re still here, yea we’re still here.
