Released in 2016 as the final single for Gavin James' debut studio album Bitter Pill, “Nervous” is a delicate ballad about the confusion that comes with navigating young love.
[Verse 1]
I promise that I'll hold you when it's cold out
When we loose our winter coats in the spring
'Cause lately I was thinking I never told you
That every time I see you my heart sings
'Cause we lived at the carnival in summer
We scared ourselves to death on a ghost train
And just like every ferris wheel stops turning
I guess we had an expiration date
So I won't say I love you, it's too late
[Hook]
Oooooooooh
Ooooohohoooooh
Oooohoooooooh
Ohoooohohohoooooh
[Verse 2]
'Cause every time I saw you I got nervous
Shivering and shaking at the knees
And just like every song I haven't heard yet no
I didn't know the words in front of me
[Bridge]
In front of me ooh
But I don't wanna know
Who'll take you home?
Who'll take you home?
Who'll take you home?
Home
If I let you go
[Hook]
Oooooohhhhh
Oooooohhhhh
Oooooohhhhh
Oooooooohooooohoohhhh
[Verse 3]
Now that you're on someone else's shoulders
The winter winds are colder on my own
Maybe we will meet when we get older
Maybe we won't
So I won't say I love you if you don't
Oh you don't
[Outro]
Oooooohhhhh
So I won't say I love you if you don't
