Clinging on for Life Lyrics by The Hoosiers

The Trick to Life

2008

[Verse]
I need you to reach me
Teach me how to love
I need you to reach me
Teach me how to learn
[Pre-Chorus]
Because I must have got it wrong
If I had love, then it's gone
I've been living without it for, oh, so long
And that's the way it goes, I suppose
[Chorus]
Made enough mistakes between
The two of us to sink this thing
We're still clinging on for life
Made enough mistakes between
The two of us to sink this thing
We're still clinging on for life
[Verse]
I need you to reach me
Teach me how to love
I need you to reach me
Teach me how to learn
[Pre-Chorus]
Must have got it wrong
If I had love, then it's gone
I've been living without it for, oh, so long
That's the way it goes, I suppose
[Chorus]
Made enough mistakes between
The two of us to sink this thing
We're still clinging on for life
Made enough mistakes between
The two of us to sink this thing
We're still clinging on for life
[Outro]
I must have got it wrong
If I had love, then it's gone
I've been living without it for, oh, so long
And that's the way it goes
When your head can but suppose
And instead of answers, it's full of "I don't know's"
And that's the way it goes, I suppose
