Hold It Together (Do It Again)

I'm a mess
I'm a square peg that's been fit into a circle
Spinning round and round
Like marbles swirling in and out of sight

I need a fitness trainer
I'll get dance instructor
Maybe then I could do it right
There's just so many steps
And it's so hard to balance
And there's so little time and
(Hold it together now!)

Pick them up
I'm just trying to hold on to all the pieces
They're falling everywhere
An avalanche of words and thoughts descending

I could take flight lessons
I could be the pilot
Maybe then I could just keep my head up
(Hold it together now!)

(Do it again)
Circle down the drain
(Do it again)
Like a fire in my brain
(Do it again)
This train is leaving town
(Do it again)
Maybe things will make sense when no one's left around

They say
That the heart is tethered to what lives in the mind
A mind built like a maze
The sights and sounds I'm sure they would astound you

I could be the designer
Or perhaps the engineer
Maybe then, I could figure it out
(Hold it together now!)

(Do it again)
Circle down the drain
(Do it again)
Like a fire in my brain
(Do it again)
This train is leaving town
(Do it again)
Maybe things will make sense when no one's left around

I wanted to be near you
I wanted to be saved
And every time I'm with you
I feel like I'm insane
Well, am I?

Holding on
Walking on a tightrope with no net below me
This chaos frightens me
Like plunging down as the abyss awaits me

I could be the traffic conductor
I should be the tour director
Just need to focus and
(Hold it together now!)

(Do it again)
Circle down the drain
(Do it again)
Like a fire in my brain
(Do it again)
This train is leaving town
(Do it again)
Maybe things will make sense when no one cares
And no one's left around
