HOLDING ON.

this song is about taking life in stride regardless of how many people do you wrong and abuse your trust, and recognising that every mistake is a lesson learned… at the end of the day, you will know deep down who your real friends are, and this song is encouraging you not to let them go.

recorded on october 14th (jimmy’s birthday) at tommy’s studio in wakefield.

lyrics - 

i’m still learning right from wrong, and friend from failure. this city’s drained the life from me. i’ve wasted breath and i’ve made my mistakes - fairweather friends from years passed define me. i’m no stranger to letdowns and i’m not the kid you used to know. every day’s a case of trial and error. my skeptical mind continues to grow. i’ve learnt to see through the lies to judge who deserves my time… i’m looking to my past to remind me. i’ve met a few in my time, so quick to leave me behind. i keep the ones that matter beside me. i’m holding on for my life. this heart of mine is left covered in scars but i take comfort knowing who my real friends are. i’m holding on. i’m holding on for my life.
