lyrics

I showed up at last
but it’s way late now.
If now’s my turn to wait
I’ll do the best I can,

Air feels like driving home
home from holidays,
This rattle’s choking me
choking me to death

Cause I’ve seen
the longest jam ever,
some of the windshield drops
end as strangers

We’re tired of holding on
But we keep on holding on
And we’ll keep on holding
‘Cause we all know how this works

With my hand on my heart
With my knees on the ground
I’m sorry I let you down
I’m ashamed I let you down

But I’ve seen
the longest jam ever,
some of the windshield drops
end together

We’re tired of holding on
But we keep on holding on
And we’ll keep on holding
‘Cause we all know how this works

I’m tired of holding on
But I keep on holding on
Guess I’ll keep on holding
But I don’t know for how long
