about

This is a covid song that you can also totally ignore the lyrics of and cut loose if that is what you prefer.
This is my first totally solo effort so that's what you get if I am left entirely to my own devices....

lyrics

Hold up just a minute
I been working on this problem for so long
Yeah you can start to begin it
Or you can dare to feel you might be wrong

Hold up just a minute
Said you were better with this pressure in your life
But its hard to admit it
You’re a flare with nothing to ignite

Cause I’m grappling air
And no one ever said we get to disappear tonight
So I’m just here tonight
And I’m gonna despair
That I can ever get to get some fun again tonight
Or set your heart alight

Hold up just a minute
I’m forgetting what you get for holding on
Stare at a sign, you can spin it
So you get to be where you belong

Hold up just a minute
Is that a better way to work away my cares?
Pressure up to the limit
So cut the attitude
I’m barely even there

Cause I’m grappling air
And no one ever said we get to disappear tonight
So I’m just here tonight
And I’m gonna despair
That I can ever get to get some fun again tonight
Or set your heart alight
