hold your nerve

it fell apart just as it began

in a flash of defiance

you won't take the initiative

but the rest was mine

undermanned now to understand

what a free fall can feel like

you became but a fabled dream

that would blur in time

but arrest this heart

'cause sometimes a spark you know

how sweet the glow

that kicks you off your line

hold your nerve

i was not right

i was bent out

and still left on show

waiting all that

time in anguish

now had left me broke

is this the sound of a moving ground

or the echoes of self-doubt

i found the wine for some peace of mind

but i still can't eat

to meditate on a shifting sand

takes steadfast and sure feet

you became but a fabled dream

that would stir in time

but arrest this heart

'cause sometimes a spark you know

how sweet the glow

that kicks you off your line

hold your nerve

i was not right

i was bent out

and still left on show

waiting all that

time in anguish

now had left me broke

when you called me

i was anxious

and i felt exposed

but if all this

might be worth it

then i had to know

i'm not angry

for the time lost

that's the turning wheel

but i knew then

and i know now

it was justified

baby all that

sweet connection

sometimes takes its time
