Take the leap

Yeah, I’m walking down the hallway, heartbeat loud

Tryna hype myself up like, “you got this now”

But my palms real sweaty, overthinking too heavy

Got a line in my head but it’s never ever steady

Every time you walk by, girl, you light up the scene

And I freeze like the world hit a pause on me

I’m trying to find courage, trying to find words

But my chest gets tight and my vision kinda blurs

But I can’t keep running from the moment that I need

Gotta step up even if my voice shakes when I speak

So I’m breathing in deep

Trying to find my feet

Tell myself this is the moment

I’ve been waiting to meet

Yeah, it’s scary to speak

But I’m done being weak

Gonna take one step forward

Gonna take the leap

I’ve been practicing the lines like a script in my mind

But they vanish every time you come close, I swear I go blind

My friends like “just ask,” like it’s all so simple

But they don’t feel the pressure hitting right in my temple

Got the words backed up like traffic in a jam

Tryna push ‘em out smooth but they don’t give a damn

Still I know if I wait, I’ma lose my shot

And regret hits harder when you say nothing a lot

Yeah, I feel that fear talking but I’m turning down the sound

’Cause the only way to fly is when your feet leave the ground

So I’m breathing in deep

Trying to find my feet

Tell myself this is the moment

I’ve been waiting to meet

Yeah, it’s scary to speak

But I’m done being weak

Gonna take one step forward

Gonna take the leap

What if you smile?

What if you say yes?

What if everything I’m scared of

Really ain’t that big a mess?

And what if I fall?

Yeah, maybe I might

But there’s things worth trying

Even if you don’t get it right

No more “maybe someday,” I’m making someday today

No more running away from the words I gotta say

If I shake, that’s fine, I’ll still cross that line

’Cause the chance I don’t take is the one that haunts my mind

So I’m breathing in deep

Finally found my feet

Tell myself this is the moment

I’ve been waiting to meet

Yeah, it’s scary to speak

But I’m done being weak

Gonna take one step forward

Gonna take the leap
