Hang Onto Yourself

Hang Onto Yourself Part 21

In the studio, Nova was finishing up a track for her album with David, Mike and Reeves. She'd written a song, "Reason" which she wanted to keep pretty simple. Just her and the piano mostly, with some elegant strings thrown in for dramatic effect.

It was about the vulnerability of her position, in the industry, and feeling the need to keep her love, David, by her side. She'd managed to persuade David to play piano on the track.

She stood in the vocal booth and kept her gaze, through the window to the left of her, at David in the booth next door where he played the piano for the track. Their eyes never drifted from one another. As she sung it was if she was talking to him, telling him how she felt. David could feel the passion in her voice.

"So you put your cards on the table

You're here, you're willing and able

Do you really understand the challenge you've set yourself

You know I want to adore you

Can't believe how life was before you

I must apologise, please understand I'm so demanding

Don't need to be cruel

I never felt that with you

Trouble is I'm a danger to myself

Don't want to push you away

I really want you to stay

Until I figure this out, won't you

Please, come take me over

Let me leave me for awhile

Maybe when I'm older

I'll understand the reason why

Understand the reason why

Every day is here to remind me

That the past is always behind me

Something I can never change but I won't let it hold me back

You arrived just in time

Now I know I'll be fine

I'm not ashamed to say you truly are my inspiration

Don't need to be cruel

I never felt that with you

Trouble is I'm a danger to myself

Don't want to push you away

I really want you to stay

Until I figure this out, won't you

Please, come take me over

Let me leave me for awhile

Maybe when I'm older

I'll understand the reason why

Understand the reason why

Might not be forever

Baby whatever

We've got today, won't you

Please, come take me over
