Holding my breath
As I'm counting down from three
Asking myself
Am I where I want to be?
Drowning in the lights
And the touch of celebrity
But there's something inside
And it's weighing down me
I see all the things that I used to dream
And now they're within my reach
Some say that's a good thing, depends on what you're wishing
The further I go it's not what it seems
Like truth that they often preach
But my heart is slightly shifting, every time I hear them clapping
If I take it fast will you learn to take it slow
'Cause the world don't stop, it only wants more and more
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la (straight into the ring)
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la (my dreams are what I bring)
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la (at times when I see red)
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la (I break promises I've kept)
Holding on tight
To the things that brought me here
Trying to let go
As I face up to my fears
I'm right on the edge
Like a swinging chandelier
But it all melts away
When I hear the people cheer
I feel all things that I used to feel
But now they've begun to fade
Some say that's a bad thing, depends on where you're going
The harder I try the rules don't apply
There's no time to be afraid
Now my heart has started raging, and the fire will be blazing (ooh yeah)
If I take it fast will you learn to take it slow
'Cause if we don't stop I'll only want more and more
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la (straight into the ring)
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la (my dreams are what I bring)
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la (at times when I see red)
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la (I break promises I've kept)
The only thing they want from me
Is repetition and some novelty
The only thing they ask of me
Is to find a new reality
They dangle prize
Right in front of my eyes
And as I try to cut the ties
Surprise, surprise
They lie and lie and they hypnotize
But there are things that I won't sacrifice
If I take it fast will you learn to take it slow
'Cause if I don't stop I'll only want more and more (la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la (straight into the ring)
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la (my dreams are what I bring)
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la (at times when I see red)
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la (I break promises I've kept)
