Hold Something Steady

You've got to hold something steady
the needle or the thread
your heart or your head
the cup or the wheel
doesn't really matter
how bad you feel
You've got to hold something steady
for it to be real

you can't get there with everything up in the air
it doesn't really help to say you don't really care
it all comes down to the words that you said
we all know you love her so just go ahead

and hold something steady, hold something steady
might be a job or it might be a light
you could be a candle on a cold and lonely night
might be time that you told her you were ready
just go slow and hold something steady, hold something steady

hold something steady
that's what you do
could be the foot or it could be the shoe
hold something steady
the finger or the ring
Or how are you ever gonna do this thing?
hold something steady
and she'll be there
hold something steady
it's never gonna happen if you're up  the air
