Another strait commitment, and still I'm asking why
We tighten our grip instead of cutting ties
We threaten our departure like kids run away from home
But stop when we remember we don't know how to be alone
Baggage we make for ourselves
We know there's an effort, continue to grow
Safe in the nest when you're trapped out there
So what would happen if ever you fell?
We live with what we hate
But yearn for something more
We get in our own way
Holding out for
Just one more day, but what is it worth?
Will you still remain convinced that the alternative is worse?
So much stubborn pride in holding on over taking stock in hope
You'd rather hang on a sure thing
At least you know you're gonna choke
Just tell yourself, tell yourself
Whatever you need to learn to love what hurts you
Like patience is a virtue
Tolerance without common sense
A voice in Stockholm says, "It's not that bad"
The truth is that you're too afraid to start again and so you stay
But if the devil's already got his grip on you
What have you got to lose?
We live with what we hate
But yearn for something more
We get in our own way
Holding out for
Just one more day, but what is it worth?
Do you still remain convinced that the alternative is worse?
So much stubborn pride in holding on over taking stock in hope
You'd rather hang on a sure thing than try to cut the rope
