Lyrics
Paperwhites
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm holding onto to nothing
'Cause it's all that I've got
I'm waiting for somebody
Who can tell me what I've lost
I'm waiting for somebody
Who would like to save me
From certain circumstances
And a colorless routine
Fading away like the paperwhites in your window
I'm holding onto to nothing
And I'm holding in my breath
The thought that I've been no one
Really scares me half to death
I friend of mine keeps telling me
That I should not worry so
But Jamie doesn't realise
There's a half that he doesn't know
Fading away like the paperwhites in your window
That private place called someday
It always seem so far away
