Verse 1
I wake up already holding
Every piece I couldn’t drop
Little heartbeat in the background
Every fear I never stop
Coffee cold beside the counter
Mind already miles ahead
Running through a thousand futures
Before I’m out of bed
Pre-Chorus
If I loosen up my grip
Will it all start slipping?
Chorus
I’ve got everything in my hands
And I’m scared to let it fall
Trying to be stronger than I am
Trying to carry it all
Every plan, every fear
Every “what if” in my head
I keep holding it together
Even when I’m hanging by a thread
Verse 2
I can map out every number
I can build a safer place
But I can’t outrun the feeling
Something I can’t replace
There’s a voice that whispers softly
“Don’t miss what’s right in front”
While I’m chasing down tomorrow
Like it’s something I can hunt
Pre-Chorus
And I don’t know how to stop
Being everything I’m not
Chorus
I’ve got everything in my hands
And I’m scared to let it fall
Trying to be stronger than I am
Trying to carry it all
Every plan, every fear
Every “what if” in my head
I keep holding it together
Even when I’m hanging by a thread
Bridge (emotional peak)
What if I don’t have to hold
Every second, every moment?
What if love is still enough
Even when I don’t control it?
What if nothing falls apart
If I finally breathe?
What if I’ve been safe all along
And it’s just hard to believe?
Break (soft)
Tiny arms around my neck
Pull me back into the now
And for a second I remember
I don’t have to figure it all out
Final Chorus (lift + release)
I’ve got everything in my hands
But maybe I can let it rest
I don’t have to be stronger than I am
I’ve already done my best
Every plan, every fear
Doesn’t need to be solved tonight
Maybe holding on to this moment
Is the only thing I need to get right
Outro
So I loosen up my grip
Just enough to finally feel it
Life isn’t slipping through my hands
I’m already living in it
