[Verse 1]
There's a little girl, wanna make her mine
What she wants, I don't know
If red means stop, and green means go
Her light is always yellow
I'm wrapped around her finger
She's slipping through my hands
Every time I think I got her
I gotta think again

[Chorus]
I'm holding on to something
That keeps letting me go
Just a whole lotta heartache
At the end of my rope
I fall a little harder every time I drop
But I keep reaching, 'cause I can't stop
Holding on to something
That keeps letting me go

[Verse 2]
She calls me on the phone, says she's all alone
Feeling kinda lonely
Says she can't wait, so don't be late
And I promise her I won't be
Ten minutes later, I'm standing at her door
She's saying, "Never mind, I ain't lonely anymore"
[Chorus]
I'm holding on to something
That keeps letting me go
Just a whole lotta heartache
At the end of my rope
I fall a little harder every time I drop
But I keep reaching, 'cause I can't stop
Holding on to something
That keeps letting me go

[Bridge]
I fall a little harder every time I drop
But I keep reaching, 'cause I can't stop

[Outro]
Holding on to something
That keeps letting me go
Just a whole lotta heartache
At the end of my rope
I keep holding on to something
That keeps letting me go
I'm just holding on to something
That keeps letting me go
