Eleventyseven - Holding Out Lyrics






My attention span is paper thin
Can't stop from cyber-spacing out again
Is this what I'm paying for staying relevant this season
My bank account looks more like an abyss
Friends have been asking me when I'm having kids
I guess stressing out is how I'm gonna spend this evening

'Cause I'm just a little bit sick of living for the weekend
A little spent from treading water in the deep end
I'm under pressure like Bowie, with no way out
'Cause I'm changing this millennial treadmill
And if the terrorists don't get me the stress will
Oh baby I'm not holding on, I'm just holding out

I've got my resume looking lit
College degree but nobody gives a shi...
My future was brighter before I paid for this piece of paper
I've got my dreams on pause in my head
They're slowly turning into my new regrets
Hopefully I'll get back around to them sooner or later

'Cause I'm just a little bit sick of living for the weekend
A little spent from treading water in the deep end
I'm under pressure like Bowie, with no way out
'Cause I'm changing this millennial treadmill
And if the terrorists don't get me the stress will
Oh baby I'm not holding on, I'm just holding out

I want something more than making ends meet
More than the same week on repeat
It's like a wave that I can't outrun
I'm holding out 'cause I can't hold on
I'm holding out 'cause I can't hold on

'Cause I'm just a little bit sick of living for the weekend
A little spent from treading water in the deep end
I'm under pressure like Bowie, with no way out
'Cause I'm changing this millennial treadmill
And if the terrorists don't get me the stress will
Oh baby I'm not holding on, I'm just holding out
Baby I'm not holding on, I'm just holding out

    Thanks for always having awesome music. I pretty much aged up with your band; I was in middle school when I first discovered some of your older songs like "MySpace", "Teenage Heartbreak", "Happiness" and others that were relevant for my life back then. Now I am a recent college grad and this song is relevant for my life now haha. Thanks eleventyseven. You guys are forever one of my favorite bands.

    "Holding Out"

    My attention span is paper thin
    Can't stop from cyber-spacing out again

    I guess stressing out is how I'm gonna spend this evening

    'Cause I'm just a little bit sick of living for the weekend

    I'm under pressure like Bowie, with no way out
    'Cause I'm changing this millennial treadmill
    And if the terrorists don't get me the stress will
    Oh baby I'm not holding on, I'm just holding out

    I'm holding out 'cause I can't hold on
    I'm holding out 'cause I can't hold on

  10. E.... ....

    Relatable, whole damn song.

  11. G.... ....

    Whats with the sensitivity to swearing in these comments 😂 words are just an expression, express away guys, go wild. Just found you today through my spotify discover weekly, awesome work and ''Cause I'm changing this millennial treadmill
    And if the terrorists don't get me the stress will' was the line that hit me hardest, loved that in particular. Surprised your following isn't bigger! Just keep doing what your doing

  12. M.... ....

  15. L.... S....

    Love the song!!!

  16. L.... S....

    Love the song!!!

  17. E.... E....

    Why the s-word on this song as well as "New York Minute"? Really disappointing cause other than that, it's a good album.

    E.... E....

    there wasn't an S-word in New York Minute

  18. D.... M....

    This song describes my life at the moment😆 Can’t wait for the album!

  19. T.... G....

    WHERE HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN?!?

  20. t.... ....

    Gosh darn-it guys, I know that you didn't wanna drop the F-bomb, but the end of "Wish Myself Away" really should have been the exception..or else just go a different direction where you didn't have to make that choice. Were you guys at all conflicted with what to do there? Walking the moral line. I mean, I get it...but still.

    t.... ....

    Good question. It's actually just a Battle Star Galactica reference cause we couldn't help ourselves. Maybe next time.... :-)

  21. H.... ....

    Can't wait. This is awesome.

  22. G.... P....

    amazing

  23. R.... R....

    Love this!

  24. S.... ....

    You guys killed it. Loving e wry second. And thisbisnt even really my genre. Just very very catchy.

  25. K.... M....

    This is making me even more excited for the whole album! Eleventy never disappoints! 🦄

  26. D.... F....

    Brings a tear to my eye and goosebumps to my arm. My goosebumps are rocking out on my skin

  27. F.... ....

    This is only heightening my excitement AGH

    F.... ....

    Your pic is perfect

  28. T.... ....

    Not sure about that almost curse word but other then that it's a great song :)

    T.... ....

    I don't know, as someone who seems to have aged with the band it seems appropriate to me (and can completely relate!). It's all about expression in song lyrics and if you drop a couple curse words well it just adds to the "realness" of the song lyrics in my opinion. I understand if you have younger children that an edited version would be most appropriate though.

    T.... ....

    Cayla I found Eleventy in 2009, and I agree! This is the ONE band from my youth that has aged with me, and I love it!!!

  29. M.... M....

    Hell yeah!!

  30. P.... r....

    Oh god! new Album?!
    I haven’t seen you for a while, Eleventyseven!

    P.... r....

    It's out NOW :)
