Lyrics

Someone to Hold

By Ian G. Clifton
March 10th, 2003

You get in a bed
But it's too wide
Because there isn't a lover
At your side

When you were young
Stuffed animals felt so great
But now you need more
Someone whom you can date

You need someone to talk to
You need someone to hold
You need someone with whom
You can look forward to growing old


Being served such nice food
While alone in your corner
Don't expect the waitress
To become your mourner

You use to be provided for
Food, shelter, and all
You stared at toys in a store
Now you peruse people at the mall

You need someone to talk to
You need someone to hold
You need someone with whom
You can always be so bold


You were always driven
To where you needed to go
Now you can get anywhere you want
But where that is, you don't know

Driving is freedom
A chance to be in control
But sometimes it is complete power
That creates an empty hole

You need someone to talk to
You need someone to hold
You need someone with whom
Your love is greater than gold
