How can one fall, all the time and climb again? How does one heart feel so lost, to find again? How can one road, lead, the way today? Before, givin it all... I wish I could fly to the top of the mountains, So that I could see just how far this will go. Feels like I'm stuck in the battle, be quick with no arma But still standing strong cuz to be a survivor y'all gotta Know how, y'all better know how to keep holdin' on. How does one give all they got, (trust) receive the half? How does one live day to day (day), forget the past? I'm all here on my own,(if so) Imma do this all alone. I can never live and be afraid, yeah... I wish I could fly to the top of the mountains, So that I could see just how far this will go. Feels like I'm stuck in the battle, be quick with no arma But still standing strong cuz to be a survivor y'all gotta Know how, y'all better know how to keep holdin' on. Against the wind, I'm not givin' in, I once spoke to A prophet he said don't stop til' you got it (ooooh) I'm not feeling fooled, I'm not letting go (no), They trynna break me down but I'm not fraction (no) for all we know, This rock keep roll, would it just be the translation to unstoppable, Before the world recall those in, I wish I had win, to pretend and then. Then maybe I could... Fly to the top of the mountains, so that I could see Just how far this will go... Feels like I'm stuck in the battle, be quick with no arma But still standing strong cuz to be a survivor y'all gotta Know how, y'all better know how to keep holdin' on (eeeh) Holdin' on, (eeeh), holdin on (eeh), holdin on... Feels like I'm stuck in the battle, be quick with no arma But still standing strong cuz to be a survivor y'all gotta Know how, y'all better know how to keep holdin...

I'm holding on As time goes by I keep holding on But I can't let it show So hard I tried for so long So hard I cried for so long Ashamed to even let you see You still have a piece of me Ashamed to even let it show That I can't let it go All this time you're on my mind I feel so tied to you And though I tried so hard to prove I'm never over you Ashamed to even let you see You still have a piece of me Ashamed to even let it show That I can't let it go I'm holding on As time goes by I keep holding on But I can't let it show So hard I tried for so long So hard I cried for so long Ashamed to even let you see You still have a piece of me Ashamed to even let it show That I can't let it go I'm holding on As time goes by I keep holding on But I can't let it show So hard I tried for so long So hard I cried for so long Ashamed to even let you see You still have a piece of me Ashamed to even let it show That I can't let it go 'Cause I'm holding on I'm holding on For so long Ashamed to even let you see You still have a piece of me Ashamed to even let it show That I can't let it go All this time you're on my mind I feel so tied to you And though I tried so hard to prove I'm never over you Ashamed to even let you see You still have a piece of me Ashamed to even let it show That I can't let it go

I'm not ready to get over you Over you, over you 'Cause pain's the only thing that's left from you Left from you, left from you And even though I'm 'bout to lose myself I'm just not ready yet to lose you too (ready yet to lose you too) 'Cause I will rather keep on going through hell If hell is where I can be close to you I keep on holding on to all the pieces Remindin' me of you and me It's been countless hours, a hundred weeks, and I'm stuck in quicksand, you're all that I see (all that I see) No-no-no-nobody knows me better than you But since you left, I kinda feel like my life's stuck in a loop (A-a-a) a hundred weeks, and I'm stuck in quicksand, you're all that I see (I keep on holding on) People ask me if I'm better now Better now, better now But I'll be honest, I just don't know how Don't know how, don't know how And even though I'm 'bout to lose myself I'm just not ready yet to lose you too (ready yet to lose you too) 'Cause I will rather keep on going through hell If hell is where I can be close to you I keep on holding on to all the pieces Remindin' me of you and me It's been countless hours, a hundred weeks, and I'm stuck in quicksand, you're all that I see I keep on holding on to all the pieces Remindin' me of you and me It's been countless hours, a hundred weeks, and I'm stuck in quicksand, you're all that I see (all that I see) No-no-no-nobody knows me better than you But since you left, I kinda feel like my life's stuck in a loop (A-a-a) a hundred weeks, and I'm stuck in quicksand, you're all that I see (I keep on holding on)

I'm going under, I can't tread the water I got so used to the way you pulled me down I tell myself that nothing lasts forever But that doesn't seem to matter now Still holding on To something lost I'm not as strong as I thought I was It breaks my heart But I can't stop Holding on, still holding on (Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh) (Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh) And I remember the way you said you loved me Every time I thought you were the one All these memories, yeah they still fucking haunt me I just woke up and one day you were gone Still holding on To something lost I'm not as strong as I thought I was It breaks my heart But I can't stop Holding on, still holding on (Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh) (Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh) I told myself I'd be okay But every night I think of you Maybe I'll forget someday But for now I'm still loving you Still loving Still loving Still holding on To something lost I'm not as strong as I thought I was It breaks my heart But I can't stop Holding on, still holding on

I phoned the local station I kinda like the things they're playing So I settled down to listen nice and easy. The DJ plays our kind of music He's asked us folk to choose it But it all adds up to another Night without you. Now and then he takes a phone-in And anyone who's feeling lonely Can call him up And make a little conversation And in the night there's music playing Soft behind the words he's saying Would I like to make a dedication This song I wanna dedicate to you And to everyone who feels the way we do As long as you're a part of me The song will play on endlessly I hope my dedication's getting through I'm standing in this lonely city There's not enough to keep me busy And we can't meet til I can take A short vacation You'll never know how much I love you Lying here thinking of you And all I got is a late night music station This song I wanna dedicate to you And to everyone who feels the way we do As long as you're a part of me The song will play on endlessly, I hope my dedication's getting thru Dedication playing just for you. This song I wanna dedicate to you And to everyone who feels the way we do As long as you're a part of me The song will play on endlessly I hope my dedication's gettin' thru Dedication's playing just for you

We Want Rollers We Want Rollers We Want Rollers We Want Rollers We Want Rollers We Want Rollers When we walk down the street, See the people who stop and stare and say Haven't I seen that face somewhere a long time ago? When we walk down the street, See the stranger who says, "Why, Hi," With a, "How you going, Buddy, When you walked on by I thought I'd say hello." They say Haven't I seen your face before Weren't you the boy that used to live next door, Weren't you on television ev'ry night Haven't I seen you round? We don't wanna be A yesterday's hero Yesterday's hero That's all we'll be We don't wanna be A yesterday's hero A yesterday's hero Is all that we're be gonna be If we don't get together, Make a new plan and be constantly better, All that we'll be if we don't get together now. When we walk down the street, If you know me, then pass me by, If you wonder what I'm doing don't ask me why, I don't read the news When we walk down the street, If you're sorry then don't feel bad, If you followed my story, I'm just as glad You ain't in my shoes Because Haven't you seen my face before, Yes, I was the boy who used to live next door, Yes, I was on television ev'ry night, Haven't you seen me round? We don't wanna be A yesterday's hero Yesterday's hero That's all we'll be We don't wanna be A yesterday's hero A yesterday's hero Is all that We're be gonna be If we don't get together, Make a new plan and be constantly better, All that we'll be if we don't get together now. (Spoken: Ladies and gentlemen the Bay City Rollers. Everybody move back, move back please, here you go, back, back) We don't wanna be Yesterday's hero Yesterday's hero No, no We don't wanna be Yesterday's hero, no Yesterday's hero No, no We don't wanna be Yesterday's hero Yesterday's hero No, no
