Caleb Peters - holidays! Lyrics

Holidays seem colder this year
He grows older each year, but that's not why
These past few days, he's been holding back tears
You can't break around here, boy don't cry

Longing for a reason to keep going
Hoping that he'll find a way home

There's a treacherous road, a path of demons and stone
It's all crumbling slow, and he can't walk it all alone

Longing for a reason to keep going
Hoping that he'll find a way home

As he starts to fade, the choices he's made slowly sink in
Is he holding on to something that's gone, or does she want him
Are these feeling real, or does he just feel a hole in his chest that he wants to be healed
Is he holding on, or is it holding him

Forget the holidays, his heart's colder this year
His mind's older this year, and her love's why
Soon come brighter days, warm weather is near
It gets nice around here, the sun's not why

Longing for a reason to keep going
Hoping that he'll find a way home

As he starts to fade, the choices he's made slowly sink in
Is he holding on to something that's gone, or does she want him
Are these feeling real, or does he just feel a hole in his chest that he wants to be healed
Is he holding on, or is it holding him
Is it holding him

Thirty long days of nothing but pain, and nights filled with sin
But he's moving on, the feelings are gone, the light has gone dim
But what if a wire catches on fire, and the flames of love are his hearts desire
Is he holding on
