Holes (anniversary edition) Songtext
von Passenger

Well I know a man with nothing in his hands
Nothing but a rolling stone
He told me ′bout when his house burnt down
And he lost everything he owned
He lay asleep for six whole weeks
They were gonna ask his mother to choose
When he woke up with nothing he said I'll tell you something
When you′ve got nothing, you've got nothing to lose

Now I've got a hole in my pocket, a hole in my shirt
A whole lot of trouble he said
But now the money is gone
Well life carries on and I miss it like a hole in the head


Well I know a woman with kids around her ankles
And a baby on her lap
She said one day her husband went to get a paper
And the mother fucker never came back
Hey mortgage to pay, four kids to raise
Keeping the wolf from the door
She said the wolf′s just a puppy
And the door′s double locked
So why you gotta worry me for

Well he left a hole in my heart
A hole in a promise
A hole on the side of my bed
Hey but now that he's gone well life carries on
And I miss him like a hole in the head

Well sometimes you can′t change and you can't choose
And sometimes it seems you gain less than you lose

Now we′ve got holes in our hearts
Yeah we've got holes in our live
Well we′ve got holes, we've got holes but we carry on

Said we've got holes in our hearts
Yeah we′ve got holes in our lives
Well we′ve got holes, we've got holes but we carry on

Hey we′ve got holes in our hearts
Yeah we've got holes in our lives
Well we′ve got holes, we've got holes but we carry on

Said we′ve got holes in our hearts
Yeah we've got holes in our lives
Well we've got holes, we′ve got holes but we carry on


Yea we′ve got holes in our hearts
We've got holes in our lives
We′ve got holes yeah, we've got holes but we carry on now

Said we′ve got holes in our hearts
We've got holes in our lives
We′ve got holes yeah, we've got holes but we carry on

Said we've got holes in our hearts
Yeah we′ve got holes in our lives
Where we′ve got holes, we've got holes but we carry on

Said we′ve got holes in our hearts
Yeah we've got holes in our lives
Where we′ve got holes, we've got holes but we carry on
