Holding Patterns
Rise Against
[Intro] [Verse 1] 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"? [Pre-Chorus] I’m at the end And so are you I can’t pretend (I can’t pretend) I never could [Chorus] When we are barеly holding on we hold each other Whеn 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] When we are barеly holding on we hold each other Whеn 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 [Bridge] 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 [Pre-Chorus] I’m at the end And so are you I can’t pretend (I can’t pretend) I never could [Chorus] When we are barеly holding on we hold each other Whеn 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 [Outro] 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
