The Whole Song - Nullnix / RK

I left out in the morning with my boots half tied Told my sister I'd be back and I think I lied There's a road running west and it don't ask me for a thing So I go wherever it's going Slept in a truck bed outside of a town with two lights Woke up with the frost on me, felt more alive than all last year And the sky didn't love me, it didn't have to It just laid there on top of me and stayed You can spend a lifetime running away And still be reaching back for something We all just want to be held That's the whole thing, that's the whole song Somebody's arm getting heavy on your chest Telling you nothing, telling you you're home That's it, that's all I ever wanted Somebody to hold on My father gave a factory thirty-one years of his hands Got a watch and a party and a square of front lawn And I watched him out there in the dark with his coffee Like he was waiting on somebody to come out and sit down Met a girl in the mountains who could name every tree She said love ain't a promise, it's a hand on your back She said we build up these walls just to hide from the cold When all we're doing is looking for someone to hold You can spend a lifetime running away And never find the courage to stop - but We all just want to be held That's the whole thing, that's the whole song Somebody's arm getting heavy on your chest Telling you nothing, telling you you're home That's it, that's all I ever wanted Somebody to hold on So I lay down in the long grass and I let the ground take it All the running, all the wanting, all the twenty-dollar nights And the wind came through the pines like it had somewhere to be And for about a minute I was not looking for anything We all just want to be held That's the whole thing, that's the whole song Ain't about the house, ain't about the ring It's somebody staying when the porch light's gone You can spend a lifetime running away Or you can turn around and hold on A lifetime running away Hold on Ooh...
