Holding Patterns

What if we changed our names and dyed our hair?

Wore dark glasses everywhere?

Yeah, would anybody notice?

Would anybody even care?

If they woke up to empty beds

Unlocked doors and windows cracked

Would the letter left behind read

Please do not try to find me?

I'm at the end

And so are you

I can't pretend (I can't pretend)

I never could

When we are barely holding on, we hold each other

When every road is blocked, we find another way

Every branch we break will grow back even stronger (stronger)

And the mark we make will never be erased

I never saw it coming

The blind left turn, a sucker-punch

And she said: Stay down

I nodded like I understood

But then got up and started running

Right into the fight, not from it

I can't stay down, this fight is all I know

These scars are all I have to show

When we are barely holding on, we hold each other

When every road is blocked, we find another way

Every branch we break will grow back even stronger (stronger)

And the mark we make will never be—

And the mark we make will never be erased

When you're in the dirt face down, I will be the answer

When you cry out loud, asking me to stay

When the rest leave town, fuck 'em, we don't need 'em

I will be there when you say

I'm at the end

And so are you

I can't pretend

I never could

When we are barely holding on, we hold each other

When every road is blocked, we find another way

Every branch we break will grow back even stronger (stronger)

And the mark we make will never be erased

And I'll be there when you are barely holding on

When you are barely holding on

When you are barely holding on

Hold me

When you are barely holding on

When you are barely holding on

When you are barely holding on

Hold me
