An unprecedented pain got me sending this message to you Got my claws out now in your name I don't know what else that I can do Oh, and I would write a thousand songs if I thought it would help Oh, and I won't spend another night underneath your spell And how long, how long Should I keep holding on? I'm waiting for that ship to come in Changing the wind to blow through I hold out my hand Nothing more I can do Guess I just want everything Everything to hold you Say you got a new girlfriend Resting there beside you in your bed Her head lays where mine used to lay Nestled in the hollow of your chest But I never meant to end up so competitive Does she know you told me it'd be my place as for long as we lived? How long, how long Should I keep holding on? I'm waiting for that ship to come in A change in the wind to blow through I hold out my hand Nothing more I can do I just want everything Everything to hold you My heart rang out Like a shot in the night And it makes that sound for the rest of my life My heart rang out Like a shot in the night And it makes that sound for the rest of my life For the rest of my life
