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
 On demand I will understand
 What a freefall could feel like
 You became but a fabled dream
 That would blur in time
 But a restless heart
 'Cause sometimes the 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 unshown
 Weighing on that
 Time in anguish
 Now it left me broke
 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
 But a restless heart
 'Cause sometimes the 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 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
