For a While

Home in this town Where you thought you would grow up And it was only a stepping stone At the start of the river Find where you feel There is something to offer And stay for a while Or at least for a day or two I'm held up here And I see where I'm going Not where I am bound I'm held up here And it was over too quickly Nothing came around I'm held up here For a while now For a while now And it was different But nothing changed in my view Just the sun rose over the city And all the blues and the blacks Were polished new in their tracks Without fear of moments leaving Cause you'll be stronger in a moment You'll be better in your life And you'll be knowing all the secrets And you'll be telling all the lies So just stay for a while Or at least for a day or two I'm held up here And I see where I'm going Not where I am bound I'm held up here And it was over too quickly Nothing came around I'm held up here For a while now You feel a little better But its always on your mind And you know it's getting closer And its taking up your time But you thought a little over And you figure its alright Doing nothing for a while Doing nothing for a while
