The Nearly Deads - Holding On For Life Lyrics

The Nearly Deads Lyrics

"Holding On For Life"

Enemy
Used to be
Part of you
Bittersweet
But now you tell me lies
Up and down
Cold and hot
Swear to God
Got to stop
'Cause I can't sleep at night

If you wanted love like this
Blowing up with every kiss
Oh, should've known better
'Cause you find yourself alone
Chilling you right to the bone
No, should've known better

You and me just
Running towards the light
Giving up the fight
Hoping we survive
You and me just
Strangers in the night
Giving up the fight
Waiting to ignite

Holding on for life
Holding on for life
Holding on for life
(Holding on for life)
Holding on for life
Holding on for life
Holding on for life
(Holding on for life)

Lost in you, lost in me
Afraid of love, in too deep
So we just run and hide
Lightning fast, felt the crash
Scared to lose, fear attacks
We only know goodbye

You and me just
Running towards the light
Giving up the fight
Hoping we survive
You and me just
Strangers in the night
Giving up the fight
Waiting to ignite

Holding on for life
Holding on for life
Holding on for life
(Holding on for life)
Holding on for life
Holding on for life
Holding on for life
(Holding on for life)

If you wanted love like this
Blowing up with every kiss
Oh, should've known better
'Cause you find yourself alone
Chilling you right to the bone
No, should've known better

Hopelessly holding on
To all those perfect nights
Let's pretend it's not gone
And say we'll never die

You and me just
Running towards the light
Giving up the fight
Hoping we survive
You and me just
Strangers in the night
Giving up the fight
Waiting to ignite

Holding on for life
Holding on for life
Holding on for life
I'm holding on for life

You and me just
Running towards the light
Giving up the fight
Hoping we survive
You and me just
Strangers in the night
Giving up the fight
Waiting to ignite

Hopelessly holding on
To all those perfect nights
Let's pretend it's not gone
And say we'll never die
Say we'll never die
