The signs are getting clearer, clearer than you need The writing's on the wall, for you to see You never thought you'd ever get the taste You never thought that it could be this good Just tell me what you want and I'll find the key Reach out and touch it's all yours. If you hang in long enough, you'll do it Just hang in long enough You're down on the ground, or so you say You'd sell the hole in your pocket, if you could find a way Don't ask me how I know, you don't want to hear It's been a long hard road, and the end is getting near. You never thought you'd ever get the chance You never thought your break would come along If you tell me what you want, I'll find the key Just reach out and touch it's all yours If you hang in They always say The best things in life are free But you want to have everything Well you're going to have to beg if you want it all. So hang in long enough, you'll do it Hang in long enough They'll let you out, then pull you in Playing hell with your emotions, You'll feel like giving in. So just hang in long enough
