lyrics
v1:
When all you've got is some water & some wood
If you do it right, it ought to be enough to do some good
pre:
Holding on 'til it's gone
It won't be long
ch:
I always had a hard time letting go
Did we leave it all behind, we may never know
I never had it in my mind to go solo
So in the meantime, I'm waiting on the band to show
v2:
Before we notice it, the music starts to fade
And all the stars align to rearrange the plans we might have made
pre:
Holding on 'til it's gone
It won't be long
ch:
I always had a hard time letting go
Did we leave it all behind, we may never know
I never had it in my mind to go solo
So in the meantime, I'm waiting on the band to show
- some sort of solo -
ch:
I always had a hard time letting go
Did we leave it all behind, we may never know
I never had it in my mind to go solo
So in the meantime, I'm waiting on the band to show
