Holding Pattern Songtext / Lyric

I didn't think you'd come back

You were gone for hours

I blew out all the candles

I threw away the flowers



And now I just hold your gaze

Tears to the fore

Where before was rage



You put a hand on my shoulder

White knuckles grasping

I turn my face to touch you

Last time I'm asking, hold my gaze

Face creeping slowly to that smile you make



It's not the truth, you know

The love is a fairytale

Why now run away

After you diatribe






Come sit back down

Come take my hand

I'll shut my mouth

I need your song



Come sit back down

Come take my hand

I'll shut my mouth

I need your song



Always knew you'd go there

Before you even went there

You are a broken record

The end, the end, the end

Hold my gaze, cold to the core

Now no love remains



It's not the truth, you know

The love is a fairytale

So why now run away

After you diatribe



Come sit back down

Come take my hand

I'll shut my mouth

I need your song



Come sit back down

Come take my hand

I'll shut my mouth

I need you



We are not moving mountains

We are a holding pattern

Only raising diamonds

Riding out a storm we may never know



Sit back down

Take my hand

I need you so

I need you so

I need you so

I need you so



I need your song

To hear your song

I need your song

I need your song

I need your song



I didn't think you'd come back

You were gone for hours
