It's been far too long
Since I've held someone like I should
Not merely an encounter
Or some fleeting rendezvous
Something with feeling
Why must it be so rare
But you could come at any hour
You could be anywhere
I've been holding out for something
Holding out for something good and
Something good and unexpected
Insisted for some while now
That there's nothing wrong with me
But I'm beginning to consider
Maybe there's something that I've failed to see
Though I'm no more myopic
Than any of my friends
And no more solipsistic
Than I am self aware
I've been holding out for something
Holding out for something good and
Something good and unexpected
I've been holding out for something
Holding out for something good and
Something good and unexpected
I used to go out each day
Thinking that today might be the day
That someone would come
Who'd been looking for me
And we'd provide the twist
In each other's stories
I've been holding out for something
Holding out for something good and
Something good and unexpected
