Passenger - Holes Lyrics

But 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
You're nothing, you've got nothing to lose"

"Now I've got a hole in my pocket, a hole in my shirt
Whole lot of trouble", he said
"But now the money's gone, well, life carries on
And I miss it like a hole in the head"
Hey now, yeah

But 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
The motherfucker 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?"

Now 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 lives
Well, we've got holes
We've got holes, but we carry on
Well, 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
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
Yeah, we've got holes in our hearts
We've got holes in our lives
We've got holes, yeah
Oh, 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
Oh, 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
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
