You know those jitters?
The ones that make you sick?
Like really sick?

Just when I didn't need the added pressure
I have to go on stage
And perform with this violin
Just a couple of songs
Not that I'm not prepared
But it just sucks
That I need judges to tell me how well I did

Breath in; breath out
Breath in; breath out

I gather my confidence
Clutch my violin case
And strut on stage
To perform my heart out

Only time will tell how much heart I gave
How much of me
Will see what's on the other side.
