There was a time, not too long ago
Sleeping in a station, in isolation
Don't need much money
But you've got to have some
Got no foundation
Just my motivation

And I will play until
Until my fingers bleed
I'm under no illusion
I know this world is bittersweet

Someday I'll wake up next to somebody
Somebody I love
Someday I'll wake and won't have no worries
I worry enough
Someday I'll make myself a home
And I won't feel alone
But first I've got to hold on
Till it don't hurt no more
Till it don't hurt no more

I'll bide my time
I won't be going back
And if I miss a meal
It won't be bad as that

I come from nothing
Still trying to escape
And if I learnt anything
It's how to wait and wait and wait

Someday I'll wake up next to somebody
Somebody I love
Someday I'll wake and won't have no worries
I worry enough

Someday I'll make myself a home
And I won't feel alone
But first I've got to hold on
Till it don't hurt no more
Till it don't hurt no more

(Wait until I get there)
Yeah (Wait until I get there)
I can wait

(I'm gonna get there) Oh
(I'm gonna get there, I can wait)
I can wait

Someday I'll make myself a home
And I won't feel alone
But first I've got to hold on
Till it don't hurt no more
Till it don't hurt no more
