Tim Lindsay - Heart Racing and All Lyrics

I can't think straight when I'm anxious
It seems like it just keeps getting louder in here
Second thoughts and trepidation
Rush through me when my moment is coming near

I can't even speak
I'm nervous as hell
I could fall to my knees
But you sure couldn't tell

I just wanna leave
But now I gotta sing
I gotta get up on stage
And there's no time to think

Heart racing and all
I can barely breathe
Keep shaking but I
Can't look so weak

Can you hold the conversation
I hear people cheer from amongst the crowd
I was never seen as famous
But here I am on this pedestal now

You can do it, I know you got what it takes
Heart racing is senseless, what a mistake
But all this self talk seems so pointless
When I'm still just a nervous mess

I can't even speak
I'm nervous as hell
I might tremble in fear
But I should break out my shell

I just wanna leave
But now I must perform
I gotta take one more breathe
It's all that I can afford

Heart racing and all
I can barely breathe
Keep shaking but I
Can't look so weak

Chest pounding and all
I can barely see
Losing vision but I
I am almost free

All this worry and all this pain
I'm walking out like a model
It's my moment on stage

Heart racer can't catch me
I swerve the insanity
Grab the mic, inhale, for a second of vanity

Heart racer can't catch me
Well, heart racer can't catch me
Heart racer can't catch me
Well, heart racer can't catch me
