Lyrics Sharon Van Etten – Holding Out

I was warned
I your humble Alamo kind of world
Around you and all you are
I was fooled by the way you take me seriously

Damn damn damn damn
I’m not tired and I’m tired
I’m not calling out
Cross the street I was holding out
Holding out cross the table
I was holding out
Trying to find a lover like that holding out
Like the wind I was holding out
Staying still hoping no one else would see me
Hoping calm replacing silent trying tongues
Do I need a reason to hold you now
Cause I’d hold you now
Yeah I would hold you now
One night and all I need is one more day
Holding out something that feels okay

And the right thing to do is wait
Holding out
Holding out
Holding out for you
I am strange, believed in fairy tales at a young age
Circumstance now I kick my self in the pants
Down the street talk to you, tires screech
Isn’t it strange I had a chance now were holding out
Hoping that the last string won’t break
I’m nodding out
