Holding On To More

They say to treat yourself with kindness

Like that's all I had to do

Did they ever see the kindness

That I always had for you

Where's the road when I can't see it

And all the signs are broken down

Should I guess the curves and secrets

Or buy a home outside of town

One is better than the other

While the other still sounds nice

Give this letter to my mother

And all it says is you were right

I wish I wrote it all down in a journal I found

Stained in all the time that I lost

A dog left in the pound

Isn't funny or profound

It's just the way that things turned out to be

I guess I'm holding on to more than a memory

God, I wish that I was stronger

When I picked up the phone

Cause now I miss when it took longer

When we would take the shortcut back home

That's a long time away now

There ain't much that I can do

But listen to turtles all the way down

I'll pretend that I'm with you

There's a lesson when you need it

There's always more when you don't

So where's the road when I can't see it

And will it take me back home

I wish I wrote it all down in a journal I found

Stained in all the time that I lost

A dog left in the pound

Isn't funny or profound

It's just the way that things turned out to be

I guess I'm holding on to more than a memory

I guess I'm holding on to more than a memory
