As desperation came and went
Some detours made aren't heaven sent
Moving past all meanings as they blur
Our constellations don't make sense
So caught up in the present tense now
Learning to skate by, I must observe
I lost my nerve, I lost it all
I couldn't answer when you called
Although I wanted you to fall back into me
I couldn't see, but I still cared
I never meant to leave you there
So when you showed up, unprepared I just observed
I lost my nerve, oh yeah
Polluting every star filled night
More smoke behind these neon lights
Hanging back to watch them slowly burn
With nothing much left on display
All beds we make and never lay in
Holding out, you'll see how much it hurts
I lost my nerve, I lost it all
I couldn't answer when you called
Although I wanted you to fall back into me
I couldn't see, but I still cared
I never meant to leave you there
So when you showed up, unprepared I just observed
I lost my nerve, I lost my nerve
If nothing here was meant to last
Then how long should it take to pass?
Another lifetime made for me to learn
I lost my nerve, I lost it all
I couldn't stand up when you called
Although I wanted you to fall back into me
I couldn't see, but I still cared
So when you came in unprepared
Showing up and standing there, I just observed
I lost my nerve, I lost my nerve
I lost my nerve, I lost my nerve
I lost my nerve, I lost it all
I couldn't answer when you called
I lost my nerve, I lost my nerve, I lost my nerve
