about

"I'm 32 and I believe in true love, but I haven't found her yet. I wanted to write a song that encapsulated the feeling of switching on facebook and seeing engagement announcements, weddings, people buying houses and having babies.... So,this is a song for all of you who are in that same boat as me; it's something to unite us. Yeah, it's a bit sad, but none of us are alone in our loneliness." ~ Ali Whitton

lyrics

Well you're holding out for somebody
Who'll give meaning to your dreams
Who'll steal you away on a midnight train
Like an old time movie scene
And you're stuck there at departures
Watching letters spin to new
And you're holdin' out for somebody
But they're not holdin' out for you

All your friends are getting married
Seems like every other day
There's blossom on the church path
And babies on the way
They say it's time to celebrate love
But your heart is some old fool
When you're holdin' out for somebody
And they're not holdin' out for you

Don't forget your Mama's lessons
How the bad ones waste your time
The Sad ones steal the light from you
And the good ones hard to find
Though the longer that you wait love
Maybe the more it will be true?
When you're holdin' out for somebody
Who's not holdin' out for you

It's the recklessness of living
to fall in love with something free
the very ones that cause the most pain
are the ones that we most need
So honey I think I understand now
What you've been going through
Whilst you've been holdin' out for somebody
I've been holdin' out for you

Whilst you've been holdin' out for somebody
I've been holdin' out for you
