[verse] Why are your hands shaking? Please just hold it steady Forget the mistakes you’re making Don’t worry you’re ready [chorus] Take a breath and get a grip You act like it’s an emergency I’m sure your hand won’t slip It’s only heart surgery [Verse] Oh, the crowd is staring at you They all look quite unkind. Your voice is caught inside your throat, You leave your words behind. [Chorus] Take a breath and Get a Grip, Don't let fear make you stutter. You've rehearsed this a thousand times, Now gaslight your grieving mother. [bridge] Research, crafting, all professions No matter what you do With my song I’ll grant concessions Of competence to you [solo] [Verse] Your palms are slick with nervous sweat, The wind is biting cold. Some say its lonely at the top, This tale won't be retold. [Chorus] Take a breath and Get a Grip, Now I mean it literally I won't begrudge you if you fall, It's too far down to see.
