Holding On - Alex Day

A million and one thousand things are screaming in my head

And I can’t seem to forget, can’t stop thinking about you

I could ride across the sky in a bicycle built for two

Could you teach me how to ride, like you taught me how to feel alive?

And not a single day goes by when I don’t wish for you

To watch me pause to find the words to steal your heart away

But I’ll play every word back round and round to try and find

A clue you might have left behind to say you feel the same

And even if I know

I’ll never be your Leo

I’ll keep holding on

A hundred and three thousand ghosts are laughing in my dreams

My eyes are failing me, everywhere I look I see you

I could bake a chocolate cake for you with tiers up to the moon

Could you show me how it’s done, like you showed me how to fall in love?

You’ll never see that I’m the one who never left you

When you needed me to cry to 'cos your heart got broke again

So I’ll play until the strings on my guitar give out

And I’ll be aching from the pain of trying to pretend

And even if I know

I’ll never be your Leo

I’ll keep holding on
