Holding Out Songtext
von Sharon Van Etten

I was floored
By your humble outlook on the world around you
Who and all you are

I was floored
By the way you take me seriously
Even when I′m joking

Damn, damn, damn, damn

I'm not tired and I′m tired
Of not calling out
On 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 silence, drying palms
Do I need a reason to hold you now?
'Cause I′d hold you now
Yeah, I would hold you now

One night
All I need is one more day
Holding out
For something that feels okay
And the right thing to do is wait

Holding out
Holding out
Holding out for you

I am strange
Reading fairy tales at a young age
Circumstance
Now I kick myself in the pants

And then you came to me
In a faraway way
And I′m bringing you something
I want you to have
It's the biggest part of my heart
That I still got


Hoping arms
No
I′ll be holding out

I'll be holding out
Holding out
I′ll be holding out
Holding out
Holding out
Holding out for you
