Lyrics
Half of life is in the waiting
Half is just anticipating
The great thing that?s going to happen to you
But you?d better hold your breath to save the moment
When it comes you won?t know it
You?re still aching for the next big thing
If I could have held on to it
Oh you know I tried to do it
If I could have, oh I would have, for you
There?ll be glimpses of salvation
Tempered with this constant temptation
I can?t sleep, and I can?t get satisfied
But there?s something sweet here in this yearning
Something I need in this burning
I can?t stay here, in this perfect love
If I could have held on to it
Oh you know I tried to do it
If I could have, Oh I would have, for you
If I could have held on to you
Oh that?s what I wanted to do
If I could have, oh I would have for you
