Holes Songtext
von Passenger

I know a man with nothing in his hands
Nothing but a rolling stone
He told me about 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 gotta hole in my pocket, a hole in my shirt
A whole lot of trouble," he said
But now the money is gone, life carries on
And I miss it like a hole in the head, oh-oh, now

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 motherfucker never came back


Mortgage to pay and four kids to raise
But 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
Oh, 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
Where we′ve got holes, we've got holes
But we carry on

Where 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

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

Said we've got holes in our hearts
We′ve got holes in our lives
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
