Forever holding on When all that's left is gone I'm drowning to be free With no water around me The feelings getting older I think I'm getting closer The more I try, I find I'm behind, every time I get closer There's nothing left to say Would've happened anyways I'm racing to the end As if I'm gonna win The feelings getting older I think I'm getting closer The more I try, I find I'm behind, every time I get closer So now it's time to end Played the dealer's hand, And lit a clover I guess I'll fold sweetheart She said, "You're too smart to be playing poker" Done the best I can Cards go out again, it's never over Two 7's I'll be damned Forever in the sand, we're getting closer Getting closer Getting closer I guess I'm falling apart She said "that's the start" but this ain't over So come on down my friend The story never ends, just getting colder
