Chords:  Gm, F, Eb 

Rain pouring down 
Depression dripping on my face 
Always looking forward to 
For a life full of grace 
The river flooded 
I’m drowning in myself 
Yet I still Look forward 
To a life full of health 


Chords:  G, C, G, D 
Chorus: 
I’m holding on 
No matter what life throws 
With all my might 
Fighting to want to fight the good fight 
One step at a time 
I will step into the light 
Step into the grey to make it alright 


Holding on 03-21-25 e

i’ve told you a million times you’re not someone to just get over
and i know this never works out right, you could never hold me, not unless we were older

& i woke up from a dream, the middle of the night,
found you weren’t next to me, pretended it was fine, you can’t make this any better
& i saw you leaving & i chased you down outside,
told you i still love you, but i know, yeah, it’s alright, you can’t make this any better
not unless we were older, not unless we were older

& we both know exactly how this ends, so it’s safer to just keep our distance
but it always comes right back to you, & i’m falling at your feet, for the second time this week

& i woke up from a dream, the middle of the night, wrote you a novel about wishing we were fine
i can’t make this any better
& i saw you leaving & i chased you down outside,
told you i still love you, but i know we can’t change minds, i can’t make this any better

& it always comes right back to you,
& i know it, & you know it, & the rest of them do, too
& i keep singing these songs to you,
the first one only five days short of hitting on year two
& i know this never works out right,
but when i look into your eyes, i feel like putting up a fight
& it always comes back to you,
yeah, we know it, yeah, we know it, yeah we both know that it’s doomed

not unless we were older, not unless we were older

not unless we were older (jan 2016 voice memo version)

one gal walks into a cafe, headphones are best <3 enjoy

LYRICS:

lady walks in so subtle
red buttons on her silly sweater
drenched from the rain w/ her broken umbrella
asks if you have a minute

she says, "today's not my day, not my day
showed up to work a half hour late
locked myself out of my car, left my wallet in my house, today is not my day not my day
today is not my day, not my day"

burnt her tongue on her macchiato
a goofy smile placed above her chin
big blonde bun on the top of her noggin
infects me w/ her contagious grin, she says,

"today is not my day, not my day
I woke up an hour late, hour late
spilled my coffee on my shoes
but what am i trying to prove
it's okay not to be okay
everybody has those days"

little lady walks out of the cafe
she says "thank you for your time"
claims i made up her whole day, her whole day
i said "no, darlin you made mine"

i say, today has not been great, not so great
my missing glasses are somewhere on the highway
but you walked in today with a big smiley face
you turned my frown upside down
made me smile for awhile
and i don't even know your name
my bad luck for burning my pancakes
my bad timing for staying up too late
but i believe that everything happens for a reason
a certain timing and it becomes a whole meanin'
but as i was saying
just dont keep waiting
for a great big change

enjoy every little moment, even if it's the worst
because no matter what, you'll hop right over it
just because you made a mistake doesn't make the whole day bad, no
so today, today's been okay day
