Lyrics
Heaven only knows my patience Heaven only knows I try I've been running back to basics To leave this all behind I never really learnt those lessons Waiting 'round for a sign But I'ma go back to basics To leave this all behind And what I know Is when the night gets cold I need someone to hold on to Can I put my faith in you? All I know Is when the night gets cold I need someone to hold on to Can I put my faith in you? Faith in you, oh All I know Is when the night is getting cold I need someone to hold on to, hold on to, hold on to Can I put my faith in you, faith in you? What I know Is when the night gets cold I need someone to hold on to Can I put my faith in you? All I know Is when the night gets cold I need someone to hold on to Can I put my faith in you? Faith in you, oh All I know Is when the night is getting cold I need someone to hold on to, hold on to, hold on to Can I put my faith in you, faith in you? Heaven only knows my patience Heaven only knows I try I've been running back to basics To leave this all behind I never really learnt those lessons Waiting 'round for a sign But I'ma go back to basics To leave this all behind And what I know Is when the night gets cold I need someone to hold on to Can I put my faith in you? All I know Is when the night gets cold I need someone to hold on to Can I put my faith in you? Faith in you, oh All I know Is when the night is getting cold I need someone to hold on to, hold on to, hold on to Can I put my faith in you, faith in you, faith in you? All I know Is when the night is getting cold (yeah, oh) I need someone to hold on to, hold on to, hold on to Can I put my faith in you, faith in you? What I know Is when the night gets cold I need someone to hold on to Can I put my faith in you? All I know Is when the night gets cold I need someone to hold on to Can I put my faith in you?
