Opening title

(Verse 1)

Action!

Opening title, lights flicker on my face

Hollywood Classic playing in my head

Dreaming EGOTs, but I don’t know the place

Where do you start when you’re born for the stage?

Audition taped in my bedroom late

Reading lines like prayers I never say

They say I’m crazy, but it’s not my fault

I see my name when the curtains fall

(Pre-Chorus)

They laugh and say “She doesn’t even go here”

But I’m determinate, I won’t disappear

I’m waiting for rain in a drought so dry

Still rehearsing my life like a final goodbye

(Chorus)

Cue the music, say my name

Star-ing Shane — freeze the frame

I don’t know how, I don’t know when

But I won’t ever let go, no I won’t pretend

Hands shaking, heart on fire

I was born for this desire

Say it loud, let it show

Lights, camera—Action! go

(Verse 2)

Hallway heroine pacing back and forth

Pink briefcase full of might-be worths

Plastic crown sitting crooked on my head

Still a Movie Star in the things I said

“Tell me something I don’t know,” they tease

But I feel destiny pulling at me

They call it luck, they call it fate

I call it staying when I should break

(Pre-Chorus 2)

They roll their eyes, say “so fetch”

Like hope is something I should’ve outgrown yet

But I bend & snap, then stand up straight

Every no just sharpens my faith

(Chorus)

Cue the music, say my name

Star-Ing Shane — freeze the frame

I don’t know how, I don’t know when

But I won’t ever let go, never let go again

Hands shaking, heart on fire

Catching fire with every try

Say it loud, let it show

Lights, camera—Action! go

(Bridge)

Safehaven in a darkened room

Scripts and dreams and midnight moons

I’ve never let go, I never will

Even when the world stands still

I’m waiting for rain, I’m begging skies

But I’ll bloom anyway, I’ve decided my life

(Final Chorus)

Opening title, this is my scene

From hallway floors to silver screens

Laugh if you want, I already know

Where this story’s gonna go

Catching fire, watch me grow

I was made for this, hello

Roll the credits, let them say

Forever.

And that’s the scene!
