Lyrics:
Living on the edge, drifting away
With everything I do and say
I can feel it slipping through my hands
I been trying to slow down, but it ain’t much use
In a town that plays it fast and loose
It’s shaky ground, no matter where I stand

I keep saying it’ll be fine
All I gotta do is keep walking that line
But sometimes, I can’t see it anymore
So, you can get mad and scream and shout
And you can curse my name, just don’t walk out
‘Cause I need you like I never have before

Can you help me hold fast, try to keep sight?
Straighten up, fly right?
Can we double down on what we know is true?
Can you help me stop jerking back and forth?
Start searching for true north?
Wanna make it last, so I’m holding fast to you

I get tired, trying to make it through
I don’t want to take it out on you
So, I hit the ground running from it all
I come back, but I don’t explain
I just try to make you feel my pain
And I treat you like the safest place to fall

It ain’t right, but you wear it well
I know it hurts, but you sure can’t tell
You’re so much stronger than I’ll ever be
You shouldn’t have to take it all in stride
You shouldn’t have to keep it all inside
You ought to have a little help from me

Still, you help me hold fast, try to keep sight
Straighten up, fly right
Let’s double down on what we know is true
Can you help me stop jerking back and forth?
Start searching for true north?
Wanna make it last, so I’m holding fast to you

I Wanna make it last, so I’m holding fast to you
