Precious For Me

Verse 1

Keep on moving

Right direction

In my life

Sidewalk slipping under sneakers

Never settles, never stops

All these faces, fleeting strangers

Still I crave connection

All this need

Never empty

Every day

Heartbeat quickens, worried quiet

Soul disturbed by silent phones

Alone before the evening comes

Fear is just another shadow

Chorus

I hold on

To every friend I find

I can't let go

Of voices in my mind

Never want to wake and see

No one left beside me

Reaching for a hand, I can't stand

No empty hands

I won't gamble with my lifeline

Post-Chorus

I won't gamble

Never gamble my life away

I won't gamble

No, I won't ever

Verse 2

Sometimes

We take a break, we fade

Separate

Still your laughter lingers

Still your memory stays

Hours apart but I'm still feeling

Every moment we made

Precious is the daybreak

Rare and raw, breath by breath

Hearts arranging patterned pain

Threads connecting every step

What would I be if not for you

Holding me in flashing memory

Chorus

I hold on

To every friend I find

I can't let go

Of voices in my mind

Never want to wake and see

No one left beside me

Reaching for a hand, I can't stand

No empty hands

I won't gamble with my lifeline

Post-Chorus

Never gamble

Never gamble my life away

I won't gamble

No, I won't ever

Bridge

All these moments, made for holding

Losing time, never folding

Maybe fear is what defines

All I've learned, all my tries

Always searching, seldom knowing

But I keep on going, keep on growing

Verse 3

Don't want static, I want voices

Miss the rush, miss the choices

People coming, people leaving

Still I care, still believing

Precious laughter, perfect timing

Want you in my silver lining

Chorus

I hold on

To every friend I find

I can't let go

Of voices in my mind

Never want to wake and see

No one left beside me

Reaching for a hand, I can't stand

No empty hands

I won't gamble with my lifeline

Post-Chorus

Never gamble

Never gamble my life away

I won't gamble

No, I won't ever

Outro

I won't gamble with my lifeline

Always moving, always trying

No, I won't ever gamble

No, I won't ever
