Lyrics

Every minute of every day
We were searching for a better way
The city nearly cost us all we had
So we took our dreams and moved away
We didn’t know what we were headed for
But it was no mystery

That she was holding out, holding out for me
She was holding out, holding out for free

Everybody’s got a passionate dream
As real as a lucky star
What we reach for may not be what it seems
So hold on tight to who you are
You might be looking for your fortune or fame
But there ain’t no guarantee

That she was holding out, holding out for me
She was holding out, holding out for free

Saw my reflection in a looking glass
I could barely recognize
A trace of fear that appeared must have passed
But not until I opened up my eyes

And what we reach for may not be what it seems
Hold on tight to who you are
You might be looking for your fortune or fame
But there ain’t no guarantee

That she’ll be holding out, holding out for me
She’ll be holding out, holding out for free

She’d be holding out, holding out for me
She’d be holding out, holding out for free

She’ll be holding out, she’ll be holding out for me
Yeah, she’ll be holding out, she was holding out for free

Every minute of every day
We’re gonna search and find a better way
Ah, she was holding out for me
Ooh, she was holding out
