I'm moving ahead

Past all these hesitations

Looking straight at what’s coming

I won’t turn away from it now

This stand we’re taking… it’s not light

But we go all the way, side by side

I can feel something forming here

Even with that pressure coming in

We’re worn from how far this goes

Still we give what we have to it

Let it breathe for a second

Try to find something real in the mess

We lean into each other a bit

Without even saying it out loud

There’s something in how we stay

That keeps us from breaking apart

Never that far apart

When we move in the same direction

Something about this feels off

But we don’t stop because of it

A little unsure, a little steady

Still… we end up in the same place

And when it starts to give way

I think… maybe we could

Just stay with it a bit longer

Yeah… just a bit

We’re worn from how far this goes

Still we give what we have to it

Let it breathe for a second

Try to find something real in the mess

We lean into each other a bit

Without even saying it out loud

There’s something in how we stay

That keeps us from breaking apart

Never that far apart…

When we stay like this
