[Verse 1]
So he's going across to London
But she never crossed his mind
Eyes look to the future
But don't see what he left behind
She can't take it any longer
Now she's holding on for dear, dear life
So you should know that you got to let him go
Then it's gonna be alright

[Chorus]
Outer change is for the better
And we all go different ways
But we all need something, oh, to hold
But if change is what you're after (Oh, oh)
Then she won't get in your way
They all need something, oh, to hold

[Verse 2]
So she laughs at all the promises (The promises)
And she smiles at what she's got (Ooh, what she's got)
Hoping no one notices
That she's something that she's not
Now her thoughts are getting clouded (Her thoughts are getting clouded)
By the crown that's on her head (By the crown that's on her head)
But I can't stay if you're drifting away
Oh, you're trying instead
[Chorus]
Outer change is for the better
And we all go different ways
But we all need something, oh, to hold
But if change is what you're after (Oh, oh)
Then she won't get in your way
They all need something, oh, to hold

[Post-Chorus]
To hold
Something, oh, to hold

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Outer change is for the better
And we all go different ways
But we all need something, oh, to hold
But if change is what you're after (Oh, oh)
Then she won't get in your way
They all need something, oh, to hold

[Outro]
Something, oh, to hold, yeah
Something, oh, to hold
