White Knuckled

(album: Pioneer - 2023)

You know it scares me
But I ain't gonna leave
I just got a few things I really need
To get off of my chest and out of my head
'Cause lately, I'm barely breathing

And all of this pressure
I can't help but feel
It probably won't end well
If I don't get real
Everybody wants something
And then they want more
I can't shoulder it anymore

Been white-knuckled
Just hanging on for dear life
Meanwhile the clock's like a thief in the night
Maybe tomorrow, I'll finally decide
To slow it all down
While I still got time

I'll hold a job down
But you hold my heart
You know my intention
And my every scar
I got to get back to
What once was a fire, nothing's means more
Than this love of ours

I've been white-knuckled
Just hanging on for dear life
Meanwhile the clock's like a thief in the night
Maybe tomorrow, I'll finally decide
To slow it all down
While I still got time

What's it all worth, living like this?
And missing the beautiful moments life has to give us

I've been white-knuckled
Just hanging on for dear life
I've been white-knuckled
Just hanging on for dear life
Meanwhile the clock's like a thief in the night
Maybe tomorrow, I'll finally decide
To slow it all down
While I still got time

While I still got time, time, time, time
