Paperwhites Lyrics by For Against

December

1988

I'm holding onto nothing
'Cause it's all that I've got
I'm waiting for somebody
Who can tell me what I've lost
I'm waiting for somebody
Who would like to rescue me
From certain circumstances
And a colorless routine
Fading away like the paperwhites on your window
Fading away like the paperwhites on your window
I'm holding onto nothing
And I'm holding in my breath
The thought of having no one
Really scares me half to death
A friend of mine keeps telling me
That I should not worry so
But Jamie doesn't realize
There's a lot that he doesn't know
Fading away likе the paperwhites on your window
Fading away likе the paperwhites on your window
That private place called someday
It always seemed so far away
That private place called someday
It always seemed so far away
