You've Got the Nerves

Listen up my friend
I think you've got the nerves again.
It pounces at every given chance.
Like a man and a woman enjoying their romance.

It drives at you like a speeding car.
A bullet train, it will take you very far.
You're a hostage with your face down on the floor.
Waiting for your chance to dash through the exit door.

Your stutters create a discordant melodic beat.
Like a band playing music up the street.
Your heart is doing unwanted somersaults.
A major earthquake beginning at the faults.

But a couple breaths you have to take.
It will give your body a break.
Just relax and start again,
That's the best remedy I have my friend.
