lyrics

Holding on
For something more than this
Holding back
Even though I really want that kiss
Sometimes I think I’m not good enough
That maybe I put you off
Then you take my hand
I think I understand

The frowns on our faces start to fade
We’re laughing at ourselves at the mess we made
Then you hold me close and you say to me
We’re just a couple of human beings, human beings
Then you hold me close and you say to me
We’re just a couple of human beings
Human beings, we’re human beings

Looking back
At all the time I thought was wasted
I don’t regret
I never could appreciate it
I had to meet a fool or two
Before I could love a fool like you
So lets take a nice deep breath
And keep on looking a head

The frowns on our faces start to fade
We’re laughing at ourselves at the mess we made
Then you hold me close and you say to me
We’re just a couple of human beings, human beings
Then you hold me close and you say to me
We’re just a couple of human beings
Human beings, we’re human beings

Why worry ourselves with such self-doubt
The things that don’t matter will all work out
So for now I know I can count on you

The frowns on our faces start to fade
We’re laughing at ourselves at the mess we made
Then you hold me close and you say to me
We’re just a couple of human beings, human beings
Then you hold me close and you say to me
We’re just a couple of human beings
Human beings, we’re human beings

Then you hold me close and you say to me
We’re just a couple of human….beings
Human beings, we’re human beings
