There it is, gotta hold tight
Can't stop thinking bout' the moment tonight
Think fast, it ain't gonna last
Gotta make it count and gotta do it right
Wanna, stand ground, make a better sound
Knock em' down, following the feeling I might
Just go strong cause the pressure's on
All eyes are on me I better carry the light
Wait just a minute
I fail this now I'll never live it down
Can it wait just a little
The clock keeps ticking and the time is now
Just wait for a minute
My heart quit beating and I'm not ready yet
I know I'm not gonna win it
A thought that I put in my head
I can't lie, I'm nervous
I've run the lines, bout' a thousand times
Know exactly what I'm gonna do and say
I should be fine, do this all the time
Yet my nerves are kicking in anyway
No matter what, if I mess it up
Still I'm gonna live to see another day
So take a deep breath, though I'm scared to death
My moment is calling and I gotta obey
Wait just a minute
I could just calm down if I remember how
Gonna wait just a little
Cause the clock's still ticking and the time is now
I can't wait for a minute
Cause my heart's still beating and the stage is set
Gonna go out there and win it
A thought that I could never forget
I can't lie, I'm nervous
And I'm afraid they've been catching on
I can't lie, I'm nervous
And I'm afraid you've been catching on
I could run away right now and leave it all
Yet I choose to stay and suddenly recall
That I love the lights, the crowd, the stage tonight
If I just calm down I know I'll be alright
Though I hear my name called and I'm terrified
When the countdown ends that's when I feel alive
Wait just a minute
I'll take this city and shut it down
Gonna take just a minute
The clock's still ticking and my time is now
Can't wait for a minute
My heart's still beating and the stage is set
Gonna go out there and win it
A thought that I will never forget
I can't lie, I'm nervous
And I'm afraid they've been catching on
I can't lie, I'm nervous
And I'm afraid you've been catching on
And you...
You catching on, you catching on
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah
And I can't lie, I'm nervous
I'm afraid you've been catching on
