Verse 1

You know it scares me
But I ain't gonna leave
I just got a few things
I really need
To get off of my chest
And out of my head
'Cause lately I'm barely breathing

Verse 2

And all of this pressure
I can't help but feel
It probably won't end well
If I don't get real
Everybody wants somethin'
And then they want more
I can't shoulder it anymore

Chorus

I’ve been whiteknuckled
Just hanging on for dear life
Meanwhile the clock's
Like a thief in the night
Maybe tomorrow I'll finally decide
To slow it all down
While I still got time

Verse 3

I'll hold a job down
But You hold my heart
You know my intention
And my every scar
I got to get back to
What once was a fire
Nothing's means more
Than this love of ours

Chorus

I’ve been whiteknuckled
Just hanging on for dear life
Meanwhile the clock's
Like a thief in the night
Maybe tomorrow I'll finally decide
To slow it all down
While I still got time

Bridge

What's it all worth living like this
Missing the beautiful moments
Life has to give us

Refrain

I’ve been whiteknuckled
Just hanging on for dear life

Chorus

I’ve been whiteknuckled
Just hanging on for dear life
Meanwhile the clock's
Like a thief in the night
Maybe tomorrow I'll finally decide
To slow it all down
While I still got time
