I was pacing the halls, waiting for your call
I couldn't believe when it finally came through
I would walk to your home, miles back and forth alone
Eventually you'd walk with me too
With holes in the carpet, holes in my shoes
Holes in my brain that I've worn through
Holes in my memory, holes in my blues
Hole in my heart for you
Then together we'd walk, the oft tread road
With signs invisible til we'd passed by
And I started to notice you falling in love
You started to notice me getting high
With holes in the carpet, holes in my shoes
Holes in my brain that I've worn through
Holes in my memory, holes in my blues
Hole in my heart for you
And I like to pretend that those times are lost
But still the ghost lingers inside
It was your voice singing those gospel melodies
That kept me from losing my mind
And I can't find the words to thank you
But know til the day you die
I earned these holes as you saved my soul
And I'll explain to the good lord why
I got holes in the carpet, holes in my shoes
Holes in my brain that I've worn through
Holes in my memory, holes in my blues
Hole in my heart for you
