Fragile, Terrifying Grace

Tyler Smathers

“verse I′ve been trying to tell you But I just don't have the words Love is not an ocean or a panicking bird It′s dancing and beating the drum Staring down the sights along the barrel of a gun Less the parts and more the sum chorus So hold your breath underwater 'Til you're strong enough to swim Past the edge, so much farther Than you have ever been verse Call me, call me by my name Heaven knows that I′ve been carrying the shame Of trying, but never hard enough Always folded when the dealer called my bluff, I Always wanted something better Always out of reach, so I′ll chorus Hold my breath underwater 'Til I′m strong enough to swim Past the edge, so much farther Than I have ever been I confess I'm scared of drowning Just like I′ve always been But all of this is meaningless If I'm afraid of diving in Hold your breath underwater ′Til you're strong enough to swim Past the edge, so much farther Than you have ever been I confess that I'm scared of drowning Just like I′ve always been But all of this is meaningless If I′m afraid of diving in”

[Verse 1]
My hands are shaking on the steering wheel
Counting every beat of what I cannot feel
The water's deep and dark beneath the ledge
And I am standing frozen at the very edge
