Trepidation from Out There by Rich Mattson and the Northstars

Trepidation
lyrics ©2022 Rich Mattson

It was early in the winter of COVID
And I came inside after a smoke
And the news was on the television
But I couldn’t make out what was spoke
I had to focus what I was breathing

I had to settle back into the chair
I had to figure out what I was feeling
But my mind it wasn’t really there

Trepidation - fear and restlessness
Trepidation - tension and distress

If I start to see flashing colors
And I start crushing things in my hands
I’m just dealing with a situation
That is hard for you to understand

I don’t like it, I don’t like it

Just hold my hand, baby come hold me
Don’t say nothing at all
Tell me, “Take your time”
Tell me, “It’s ok”
Take a walk with me
Let’s go outside

Trepidation - make it go away
Trepidation - nothing anyone can do or say
Trepidation - shivers up my spine
Trepidation - I’m gonna lose my mind!
