Spinning

Catch me when I fall
I’m dancing on the edge as shapes and shadows merge
Catch me when I fall

Balancing on tiptoe as my fears emerge
My world’s upside down as I reach for you
I’m dancing on the edge as shapes and shadows merge

These problems I can’t face, can’t undo
Weak and worried, I need your strength
My world’s upside down as I reach for you

Don’t push me away, don’t hold me at arm’s length
I need your steady hand to guide me
Weak and worried, I need your strength

Show me, tell me how things ought to be
I’m spinning out of control
I need your steady hand to guide me

I’m broken, a figment of what once was whole
Catch me, catch me when I fall
I’m spinning out of control
Catch me when I fall
