Hold Your Nerve

[Verse 1]
It fell apart just as it began
In a flash of defiance
You won't take the initiative
But the rest was mine
On demand I will understand
What a freefall could feel like
You became but a fabled dream
That would blur in time

[Pre-Chorus]
But a restless heart
’Cause sometimes the spark you know
How sweet the glow
That kicks you off your line
Hold your nerve

[Chorus]
I was not right
I was bent out
And still left unshown
Weighing on that
Time in anguish
Now it left me broke

[Verse 2]
Is this the sound of a moving ground
Or the echoes of self-doubt?
I found the way to some peace of mind
That I still can't use
To meditate on a shifting sand
Takes steadfast and sure feet
You became but a fabled dream
That would stir in time

[Pre-Chorus]
But a restless heart
'Cause sometimes the spark you know
How sweet the glow
That kicks you off your line
Hold your nerve

[Chorus]
I was not right
I was bent out
And still left unsure
Weighing on that
Time in anguish
Now it 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
When I knew then
When I know now
It was justified
Baby, all that
Sweet connection
Sometimes takes its time
