Holding On To Whatever It Is
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 wanna stay at home if you wanna stay at home
I'm gonna watch a show, if you gonna watch a show
There is nowhere safe
We're too cynical to go through the cold
Are we wasting time?
It's a little hard getting up in the morning
When you only wanna say "shut up"
You only wanna say "shut up"
"Don't speak"
I do the hurricane
Run when you feel the rain
Throw me another chain
Throw me another chain
Only you will remain in this hibernation
You can still maintain some sophistication
No, no, no, no I don't hold you responsible for me
I probably should take my time, make my mind up
My shoes are clean, undeniably
I won't go out of my way to impress you
Holding on to whatever it is
You think you're getting from me
(I don't know what it is you want)
Holding on to whatever it is
You think you're getting from me
(I don't know what it is you want)
So I've been feeling comfortable to a fault
It's now inevitable, there'll be danger
I'm living large reprehensibly
It seems that you've got the eyes of a stranger
I don't know what it is
I don't know what it is
I don't know what it is
I don't know what it is
