How far


I'm nervous

I'm anxious 

I'm a panicked soul

Oh if only peace would find these shaking pains

Pulsing the coldness through my veins

Then maybe you could stay with me

Cause right now I need you to leave

This is too much to think about

How close we've come

Now I want to know how far these legs will go

And if the path I've walked was my own, if I had your hand to hold

Or if you carried me the whole way through

Because I want to be next to you

Not a crutch

Oh not a hitch

But a hand to hold

And eyes to peer into
