You were always there to help when I held myself back
You tried to slyly make me think about everything I lack
I wanted to get out there, show off what I have
I wanted to be louder and tonight I'm gonna be like that

I felt the change in pressure, heard the thunder crack
I was halfway dreaming, it seemed too distant and abstract
But tonight I'm going out there and I'm never, never looking back

I was undervalued, you played your part in that
What other people added to me you tried to subtract
I'm not trying to break your heart, just giving you the goddamn facts
Your worst-case scenario, tonight I'm gonna be like that

I’ll be a part of all the things that scared me in the past
Everything is bright and loud and moving way too fast
But tonight I'm going out there and I'm never, never looking back

I was underrated, now’s my time to overreact
I’ll burn this city to light my way, tonight I'm gonna be like that

I felt the change in pressure, heard the thunder crack
I was halfway dreaming, it seemed too distant and abstract
I’ll be a part of all the things that scared me in the past
Everything is bright and loud and moving way too fast
But tonight I am going out there and I'm never looking back
