Lyrics
Calm Your Nerves
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You wanna go where the action is
You wanna break the night wide open
Something pure about the way you give
With no thought of where you're goin'
(Where you're goin', where you're goin')
(Where you're goin', where you're goin')
You been everything to everyone
It ain't like your life is perfect
If you look inside you'll come undone
I'm just tryna' scratch the surface
Under your skin
Will you let me in?
Oh-oh, oh-oh, I will be there
To calm your nerves, to fight this feeling
Oh-oh, oh-oh, I will be there
To say the words "You are forgiven"
You disappear when you feel too much
Wish I knew where so I could follow
Take me to the place where you escape
And we can face the world tomorrow
We lost the thrill
But you're smilin' still
Oh-oh, oh-oh, I will be there
To calm your nerves, to fight this feeling
Oh-oh, oh-oh, I will be there
To say the words "You are forgiven"
Are you windin' down?
Are you carryin' your burden like a badge of honor now?
Well, I'll be there at the end of the road
Next time you're breaking down here alone
Oh-oh, oh-oh, I will be there to calm your nerves
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, I will be there to say the words
To save you from yourself
To calm your nerves
(Ohhh-ohh) To calm your nerves
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh, I will be there
To say the words, "I will be there" (Ohhh-ohh)
To calm your nerves (Ohhh-ohh)
To calm your nerves (Ohhh-ohh)
