0:13In my mind there's a fog
0:17San Francisco couldn't handle
0:20'Cause oh how this year's been a slog
0:23Melting both ends of the candle
0:26And how I wish I could claim
0:29That I don't harbor ill feelings
0:33As my anger's turning to shame
0:36And I stare a hole through the ceiling
0:40I'm trying to hold it together
0:44I'm trying to sleep through the night
0:48I've got my windows open to the weather
0:53And I keep telling my friends I'm alright
0:57Yeah I'm trying to hold it together
1:02Trying to take the first step
1:06Into the arms of wherever whenever
1:18Every day I awake
1:21Like a stone over water
1:24Skipping across a lake
1:27Before I sink to the bottom
1:31And how I wish I could say
1:34That I'm immune to the mirror
1:37With temples fading to grey
1:40I'm seeing the end drawing nearer
1:45And I can scream and shout
1:49Or learn to live without
1:53But I'm trying to hold it together
1:57I'm trying to sleep through the night
2:01I've got my windows open to the weather
2:06And I keep telling my friends I'm alright
2:10Yeah I'm trying to hold it together
2:15Trying to take the first step
2:19Into the arms of wherever whenever
In my mind there's a fog San Francisco couldn't handle 'Cause oh how this year's been a slog Melting both ends of the candle And how I wish I could claim That I don't harbor ill feelings As my anger's turning to shame And I stare a hole through the ceiling I'm trying to hold it together I'm trying to sleep through the night I've got my windows open to the weather And I keep telling my friends I'm alright Yeah I'm trying to hold it together Trying to take the first step Into the arms of wherever whenever Every day I awake Like a stone over water Skipping across a lake Before I sink to the bottom And how I wish I could say That I'm immune to the mirror With temples fading to grey I'm seeing the end drawing nearer And I can scream and shout Or learn to live without But I'm trying to hold it together I'm trying to sleep through the night I've got my windows open to the weather And I keep telling my friends I'm alright Yeah I'm trying to hold it together Trying to take the first step Into the arms of wherever whenever
