My nerves are coming back
I'm standing on my feet
Under my own power
Toss them crutches in the creek
Let them sink away
Watching from the bank
Enough with these shooting pains
My nerves are coming back
I'm dancing on my feet
To a punk song by a band younger than me
It feels good to move
And not think about these past several weeks
I can get out of bed
Not wishing I was dead no more
Paralyzed with doubt had me f*ckin' freakin' out
So let's raise a toast
And exorcise our ghosts
Let my shoulder go
And stand tall on your own
My nerves are coming back
I'm standing on my feet
Basking in the sun
It feels damn good to breathe
And although I'm down
I'm not staying here
I've got better places to be
