And, at last, we return to the window; older, wiser, and more optimistic. Hold it together.
lyrics
I've been spending so long staring out of my window
I'm starting to think that it's not staring back
It's mind is on things more important than I
And the train of its thought is still firm on its track
CHORUS
And it's doing a far better job than I
Just holding together
Holding together
Keeping itself in a frame of mind
To hold it together
Hold it together
I've been spending so long staring out of my window
I'm losing sight of what's on the other side
I made so much effort to not be transparent
I set myself up to keep living a lie
CHORUS
I've been spending so long staring out of my window
Pretending the foreground just doesn't exist
And the longer I stare in this great act of nothing
The longer the problems become on my list
CHORUS
Hold it together
