[00:00.00]Holding On To You (Edit 2) - Sananda Maitreya
[00:16.23]I left the east side for a west coast beauty
[00:19.92]A girl who burned my thoughts like kisses
[00:23.98]She was down by street decree
[00:26.97]She swore she'd pull my best years out of me
[00:30.85]Fat painted lips on a live wire beauty
[00:34.47]A tangerine girl with tambourine eyes
[00:38.54]Her face was my favourite magazine
[00:41.41]Her body was my favourite book to read
[00:44.48]They say that all poets must have and unrequited love
[00:52.24]As all lovers must have thought provoking fears
[00:58.11]But holding on to you means letting go on pain
[01:05.46]Means letting go of tears
[01:09.15]Means letting go of rain
[01:12.77]Means letting go of what's not real
[01:20.53]Holding on to you
[01:25.84]I left the rough side for a seaside baby
[01:29.59]A chamomile smile that pouts on cue
[01:33.59]For every moment I breathe her sigh
[01:36.71]Her bosom contains my sweet alibi
[01:40.77]In an emotional mist she breathes in fog
[01:44.40]And breathes it out as garden flowers
[01:48.84]Why me of all the tough talking boys
[01:51.59]I guess she heard my heartbeat through the noise
[01:54.59]They say that all poets must have an unrequited love
[02:02.58]As all lovers must have thought provoking fears
[02:08.45]But holding on to you means letting go of pain
[02:16.01]Means letting go of tears
[02:19.64]Means letting go of the rain
[02:23.76]Holding on to you
[02:27.17]Means letting sorrows heal
[02:30.79]Means letting go of what's not real
[02:38.61]Holding on to you
[02:56.92]They say that all poets must have an unrequited love
[03:06.00]As all lovers I'm sure must have thought provoking fears
[03:11.88]But holding on to you means letting sorrows heal
[03:18.99]Means letting go of what's not real
[03:26.62]Holding on to you
[03:28.81]I left the east coast for a west coast beauty
[03:31.90]A woman who burned my thoughts like kisses
[03:36.03]She was down by street decree
[03:39.59]She swore she'd pull my best years out of me
[03:43.15]Fat wet lips on a sea salt canvas
[03:46.72]Goodbye Picasso hello Dolly/Dali
[03:50.75]The soil is fertile where her footsteps trod
[03:54.32]She's my new religion she's all I got
[03:56.82]They say that all poets must have an unrequited love
[04:04.57]As all lovers I'm sure must have thought provoking fears
[04:10.02]But holding on to you means letting go of pain
[04:18.07]Means letting go of tears
[04:21.57]Means letting go of rain
[04:25.64]Holding on to you
[04:28.95]Means letting sorrows heal
[04:32.26]It means letting go
[04:34.64]It means letting go of pain
[04:36.95]It means letting go of pain
[04:47.16]It means letting go of tears
[04:49.22]It means letting go of rain
