Girl take a seat, rest your weary bones
Your secret's safe in my hands
Tell me 'bout the years and let me buy an hour
Maybe help me to understand
Oh, ain't nobody callin', ain't nobody home
What a lovely day to be lonely
*You're holding on for life
Holding on for life, love
Holding on for love x2
Light another cigarette, burning in the cold
Waiting on the street for your man
You're trying not to look so young and miserable
You gotta get your kicks while you can
And in the Latin Quarter
Sitting on your own
What a lovely day to be lonely
*
Well you might belong to another time
Still you have to carry on, yeah
No, where else to go and you never know
What to hide and what to show, no
*
Broken Bells - Holding On For Life
