Get a Grip - Meeting Eye To Eye

He blew away…he blew away my sadness My damn despondency… He’s making fun of me… Don’t laugh at me, I envy Your smile… I’d run the extra mile Just to be with you for only a little awhile Tell me if I need to get a grip You consume me like fire, I must admit Oooh…I must get a grip You’re something else, full of vibrant wit Get a grip…be mature…don’t let it rip Don’t let your anger out on me – Don’t slash me with a whip Don’t let the kitchen knife slip… Bite the bullet…(Oooh…x5 yeah) Bite the bullet! See right through it! See right through my pain And I’m waiting for His healing rain But, until then, I must get a grip I must get a grip!! (((Bridge))) I think I’m taking this way too far… Get a grip…get a grip, boy! I’m in the brink of catastrophe – I ain’t waging war! Get a grip, you worthless toy! You drive me insane again and again! You are a Rowdy Racecar, Zipping past me speedily…crashing into me Showering pieces of me collapse on the green grass The grass isn’t greener on the other side There’s no need to hide… For in the light, That’s where you will abide For in the light, That’s where your happiness stretches wide You’re running over me… Oh oh oh…you’re tripping out! You’re screwing with my mind Oh oh oh…without a doubt! I knew I was this love was so blind Don’t be a downer…(get a grip) Don’t imitate me or you’ll end up like a loner I’m a lonesome ghost…(I need to get a grip) Foolishly in love…I swear I’ll be okay! I’ll be okay as long as I pray! (Hey God! Help me get through this hardship… I’m sinking like the Titanic ship) Trying to find friendship (on another level no doubt), Feeling high with your love…(THAT’S something to marvel about) I want something to cherish as my own… I’ve grown accustomed to you…I’m sorry I’ve blew things out of proportion I don’t want to be alone forever or I’ll be a dried-up bone But, luckily, I’ve tasted love from up above, knowing that you l give me a portion of self-control… A portion that’s above all…... A portion with mighty soul… A portion that’s as tough as a wall….... I’ve tasted love from up above, I’ve got a grip finally! Oh my love… That’s something new! Like seeing an ebony dove – That’s something to brag of… Are you an angel from up above? Do you abide in the light? Can I have a portion of your heaven-brewing delight? Can we escape this plight tonight? Let's lock hands & let's take flight, like a graceful, bold eagle without a fright We'll meet eye to eye this outlandish night Everything will be alright!

Damn David, that's beautiful resolution! Its hard to believe devotion, intensity and healing like this can go unreciprocated. I appreciate how humble you are for this person's love and light, this is a special friendship. The racecar metaphor is wild, love how unusual this persons effect is on your soul, I wonder what this petson would write or express about what you've given to them David. Original song!!! J.A.B.
