From the recording Down To The Wire
Written by Jonathon Brannon
Lyrics
It’s down to the wire
These moments fuel my fire, fire
No quit in my desire
Rise up and take it higher, higher
And let it come down to the wire
Let it come down to the wire, oh
I don’t bark at the pressure, I let it breathe
Every doubt in the room sharpening me
I’ve been quiet on purpose, let ‘em all sleep
While I’m learning the weight of what’s meant for me
I don’t rush for the moment, I wait it out
I’ve been here when the room started counting down
Had my back to the wall, had no way around
Found a voice in the noise when I blocked it out
They confuse being calm with a lack of fight
I’ve been building resolve in the dead of night
If the line gets thin and the margin’s tight
I don’t blink , I’ve been wired for this my whole life
It’s down to the wire
These moments fuel my fire, fire
No quit in my desire
Rise up and take it higher, higher
And let it come down to the wire
Let it come down to the wire, oh
Yeah, I don’t need the roar just to feel alive
I’ve been steady when everything’s on the line
Seen momentum swing like a broken sign
Still I move with intent, never crossing mine
I don’t talk in extremes, I’ve seen both sides
Wins feel heavy, losses still teach pride
I don’t chase being first, I survive the grind
Let it come down to seconds, I’ll take the time
When it’s close, when it’s tense, when the room gets still
I don’t fold, I don’t flinch, I don’t fake the will
If it all comes apart, I stay standing still
I don’t need the edge, I become the hill
It’s down to the wire
These moments fuel my fire, fire
No quit in my desire
Rise up and take it higher, higher
And let it come down to the wire
Let it come down to the wire, oh
I don’t break when it’s heavy
I don’t run when it’s close
If the moment’s on me now
I’m already composed
It’s down to the wire
These moments fuel my fire, fire
No quit in my desire
Rise up and take it higher, higher
And let it come down to the wire
Let it come down to the wire, oh
