Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We got our feet on the wire
Talking 'bout flying
Maybe we're diving in over our heads
Scared of what I'm feeling
Staring at the ceiling
Here tonight
[Verse 2]
Come on and lay down these arms
All our best defenses
We're taking our chances here on the run
The fear is an anchor
Time is a stranger
Love isn't borrowed, we aren't promised tomorrow
[Verse 3]
We'll never be ready if we keep waiting
For the perfect time to come
Hold be steady, we'll never be ready
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Where we don't know, that we can't see
Just walk on down this road with me
Hold be steady, never be ready
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh-whoa, whoa
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 4]
You're okay, you're with me
Here in the silence
With all of the violence crashing around
Saying we can't go
Saying we don't know
This road that is narrow is the one we should follow
[Verse 5]
We'll never be ready if we keep waiting
For the perfect time to come
Hold be steady, we'll never be ready
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Where we don't know, that we can't see
Just walk on down this road with me
Hold be steady, we'll never be ready
Whoa, oh, oh, oh-whoa, whoa, whoa
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 6]
Steady my hands, this one could turn around
Steady my heart, it's beating faster
Steady my hands, this one could turn around
Steady my heart, it's beating faster
Beating faster now
[Verse 7]
We'll never be ready if we keep waiting
For the perfect time to come
Hold be steady, never be ready
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Where we don't know, that we can't see
Just walk on down this road with me
Hold be steady, never be ready
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 8]
Hold be steady, never be ready
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hold be steady, we'll never be ready
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hold be steady, never be ready
Whoa, oh, oh, oh-whoa, whoa, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
