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 celing
here tonight

come on and lay down these arms
all our best defenses
we’re taking our chances here on the run
if fear is an anchor
then time is a stranger
love isn’t borrowed
we aren’t promised tomorrow

we’ll never be ready
if we keep waiting
for the perfect time to come
hold me steady
we’ll never be ready
oh oh oh oh oh
when we don’t know, though we can’t see
just walk on down this road with me
hold me steady
we’ll never be ready

you’re ok here 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

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

hold me steady we’ll never be ready
