"Holding Patterns" lyrics

"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
