Get a Hold of Yourself
Sugar Jesus Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

How do you do
Just nice to meet you
And I can take you on from here
But this is where it all starts
So follow through
Into the shadows
'Cause I can hear the storm is close
Let's hope you can handle it

Yeah
So nice to meet you
Better believe in me tonight
And I will not let you down (down, down)

If you see me fall, I will get up again
I'll make you a promise that this is not the end
Just like I said, get a hold of yourself
You've got to trust me, just get a hold of yourself

Well here we are
So close to midnight
And I can barely see your face
It's hidden in a silhouette
But we continue
Into the centre
You feel your heartbeat starts to skip
(but) It's the only way out of this

Yeah
Just nice to meet you
Better believe in me tonight
And I will not let you down

If you see me fall, I will get up again
I'll make you a promise that this is not the end
Just like I said, get a hold of yourself
You've got to trust me, just get a hold of yourself

Get a hold of yourself (Let's hope you can handle it) etc.

If you see me fall, I will get up again
I'll make you a promise that this is not the end
Just like I said, get a hold of yourself
You've got to trust me, just get a hold of yourself

If you see me fall, I will get up again
I'll make you a promise that this is not the end

Just like I said, get a hold of yourself
You've got to trust me, just get a hold of yourself
