lyrics
Holding Onto Nothing - Jesse LaMonaca and The Dime Novels
someone forgot to shut the screen door
it slams against the porch each time the wind blows
instead of pulling it closed
I let it make noise
pretend it's you coming over
holding onto nothing
holding on and what for?
my boy, it's bringing you down
and you can't stand for nothing
but you stand to lose big time
when it comes 'round again
the moon's bright tonight
it looks fake to me
clouds lined up like a cobblestone street
the trick is feeling ok
with the decisions you make
and the ones made for you
holding onto nothing
holding on and what for?
my boy, it's bringing you down
and you can't stand for nothing
but you stand to lose big time
when it comes 'round again
'cos it comes 'round again
