Holding Pattern Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Washing my hands through the night
Can't sleep for the sirens
Screaming one man's freedom's another's fever that keeps rising
Along with this sneak-attack sun but I promise hon
I can make the coffee strong enough to get us to the wine
In a holding pattern
[Verse 2]
Remembering when we could land in any old weather
Singing nothing's so wrong that the right song can't make it better
But when will the aerosols fly through the stage lights
Towards the front row of my next audience I wonder
[Chorus]
In a holding pattern
Circling around
Won't ya hold me darling
Til the wheels touch down
[Verse 3]
Here in your arms
A chorus of alarms sounding like vespers
Your lips to my ears
Don't forget we're alone in this together
Glory to any true love as it once was
As it is now and just might have to be forever
[Chorus]
In a holding pattern
Circling around
Hold me and I'll hold you darling
Til the wheels touch down
We're in a holding pattern
So hold me darling
While the world burns down
Washing my hands through the night
Can't sleep for the sirens
Screaming one man's freedom's another's fever that keeps rising
Along with this sneak-attack sun but I promise hon
I can make the coffee strong enough to get us to the wine
Remembering when we could land in any old weather
Singing nothing's so wrong that the right song can't make it better
But when will the aerosols fly through the stage lights
Towards the front row of my next audience I wonder
In a holding pattern
Circling around
Won't ya hold me darling
Til the wheels touch down
Here in your arms
A chorus of alarms sounding like vespers
Your lips to my ears
Don't forget we're alone in this together
Glory to any true love as it once was
As it is now and just might have to be forever
In a holding pattern
Circling around
Hold me and I'll hold you darling
Til the wheels touch down
While the world burns down
