What do you do, what do you feel,
what do you write and how do you deal
when it all comes back to you?
What do you think, what do you know,
who do you ask, where do you go
when it all comes back to you?
There's a change that walks on down the line
and a change that shines and blinds your mind
and a change that feels just like old times
when I'm only holding you
What do you like, what do you name,
what do you fight, and what do you blame
when it all comes back to you?
What do you start, what do you end,
what do you buy back, what do you bend
when it all comes back to you?
There are times when I'm alone and I
look out beyond and feel alright
Through all these homes and all these lives
I'm only holding you
'Cause even freedom wears me down
from sleeping floors about the town
from chains and days I weave your crown
when I'm only holding you
So what do you change, what do you turn,
what do you undo, and what do you learn
when it all comes back to you?
What do you love, what do you see,
what do you forgive, and how can it be
that it all comes back to you?
Yes, all my pain has served me well
of hope and fear my troubles tell
it's a hardened claim that rings the bell
when I'm only holding you
