This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I keep holding out for you
And I keep holding out for you
Settle up my debts
And dial your number
Tell me where you slept
Better not have been with another
Spent the last of my coin on a letter to you
Wrote it in cursive like I knew what to do
How many ways can I say I'm sorry?
I'm trying to get us to the next party
What'd you expect
From these bastard bones?
Called you collect
For reasons God only knows
I keep holding out for you (Keep holding)
I keep holding out for you (Keep holding)
I know you get the feeling like you're in it alone
But there's only certain things you really need to know
Like I keep holding out for you (Keep holding)
Woke up in a sweat
From the weight of their eyes
Always knew this would end
I had to leave you behind
Took me away, then they loosened my jaw
Gave it all up, now I'm taking the fall
This handsome villain is forever yours
Between the bars when I knew you needed more
What'd you expect?
It's the same story
I won't be the one
Who leaves you lonely
I keep holding out for you (Keep holding)
I keep holding out for you (Keep holding)
I keep holding out for you
I'm never gonna be the one
Be the one who leaves you lonely
I keep holding out for you
I'm never gonna be the one
So be the one who leaves me lonely
And I keep holding out for you
Settle up my debts
And dial your number
Tell me where you slept
Better not have been with another
Spent the last of my coin on a letter to you
Wrote it in cursive like I knew what to do
How many ways can I say I'm sorry?
I'm trying to get us to the next party
What'd you expect
From these bastard bones?
Called you collect
For reasons God only knows
I keep holding out for you (Keep holding)
I keep holding out for you (Keep holding)
I know you get the feeling like you're in it alone
But there's only certain things you really need to know
Like I keep holding out for you (Keep holding)
Woke up in a sweat
From the weight of their eyes
Always knew this would end
I had to leave you behind
Took me away, then they loosened my jaw
Gave it all up, now I'm taking the fall
This handsome villain is forever yours
Between the bars when I knew you needed more
What'd you expect?
It's the same story
I won't be the one
Who leaves you lonely
I keep holding out for you (Keep holding)
I keep holding out for you (Keep holding)
I keep holding out for you
I'm never gonna be the one
Be the one who leaves you lonely
I keep holding out for you
I'm never gonna be the one
So be the one who leaves me lonely

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
