Hold Your Nerve - Boy & Bear

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
