Holding Out by Emma Jayne Lyrics

Oh I took him for a walk
On the brighter side of avenues
And I watched it grow dark as we talked
About what we were going through
So I put upon his lenses to try to understand
But the strain it made me cry
‘Cause I guess he was a blind man, and we weren’t seeing eye to eye

I’m holding out for you I’m holding out for you
I’m holding out it’s true I’m holding out for you
I’m holding out for you I’m holding out for you
I’m holding out it’s true I’m holding out for you

Oh I put my love in words
In the letters I sent to him one day
And I really hoped they’d make it
So my messages would get relayed
So expect my disappointment
When my calendar would show all my days passed
I was running out of words, 'cause I didn’t get no letters back
I’m holding out for you I’m holding out for you
I’m holding out it’s true I’m holding out for you
I’m holding out for you I’m holding out for you
I’m holding out it’s true I’m holding out for you

And you’ll write to me my letters returned
And I’ll try on your frames without vision obscured
So tell me why you occupy
With problems of distance and age?
I’m done with this book but I’ll wait for your page

I’m holding out for you I’m holding out for you
I’m holding out it’s true I’m holding out for you
I’m holding out for you I’m holding out for you
I’m holding out it’s true I’m holding out for you

Oh I'm holding out, whoah yeah
Out for you, out for you
I’m holding out for you I’m holding out for you
I’m holding out it’s true I’m holding out for you
I’m holding out it’s true I’m holding out for you
