Hold your own, know your name, and go your own way...

Are the details in the fabric the things that make you panic?

This song is my life right now. In general, it for people like me. I have inherited panic attacks and a hyper-nervous personality from my mom, and combined with my dad's attention to detail my personality causes a lot of stress in my life. This song reminds me to let go. Especially picking apart my trust of others. I love that it starts with a voice mail. It's so real. Listen.



Calm down
Deep breaths
And get yourself dressed instead
Of running around
And pulling all your threads and
Breaking yourself up

If it's a broken part, replace it
But, if it's a broken arm then brace it
If it's a broken heart then face it

And hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way
Hold your own
Know your own name
And go your own way

And everything will be fine
Everything will be fine
mmmhmm

Hang on
Help is on the way
Stay strong
I'm doing everything

Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way
Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way

And everything, everything will be fine
Everything

Are the details in the fabric
Are the things that make you panic
Are your thoughts results of static cling?

Are the things that make you blow
Hell, no reason, go on and scream
If you're shocked it's just the fault
Of faulty manufacturing.

Yeah everything will be fine
Everything in no time at all
Everything

Hold your own
And know your name
And go your own way

Are the details in the fabric (Hold your own, know your name)
Are the things that make you panic
Are your thoughts results of static cling? (Go your own way)

Are the details in the fabric (Hold your own, know your name)
Are the things that make you panic (Go your own way)
Is it Mother Nature's sewing machine?

Are the things that make you blow (Hold your own, know your name)
Hell no reason go on and scream
If you’re shocked it's just the fault (Go your own way)
Of faulty manufacturing

Everything will be fine
Everything in no time at all
Hearts will hold♥


Only Human is amazing, too. I didn't think I liked the album version of We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things because I'd seen him live and had the live EP versions of several songs, but it's grown on me. I love the songs that I hadn't heard yet. The live versions are still better but I still love the CD. Jason Mraz is just pretty fucking amazing.
