[Intro]
House lights low
Our hands shake
Two misfits
One big break
[Verse 1]
You were humming in the hallway
Scuffed shoes
Secondhand coat
I was hiding in the rafters
Every word caught in my throat
You said
“Hey
You look like trouble”
I said
“Guess I found my kind”
We were background
We were blur lines
Till your laughter pulled me into the spotlight
[Pre-Chorus]
We built a world in an empty gym
Cardboard crowns
Crooked on our heads
Dreams taped up with safety pins
Fear and glitter on the floorboards as we said—
[Chorus]
This is the center stage of us
Two hearts
One fearless rush
If the crowd goes quiet
If the curtains fall
I still want you through it all
We’re hanging on every whispered “stay”
All I want is one more day
If the world won’t cheer for both of us
Let it hear the center stage of us
[Verse 2]
You were first to read my notebook
All the lines I tried to hide
You said
“These could move a mountain
If you’d stop standing on the side”
We were stargazing from stairwells
Casting futures on the wall
You swore someday they’d really see me
I swore I’d never let you fall
[Pre-Chorus]
We wrote our names on the dressing room glass
Right below the cast list
Way down low
“Someday” circled like a promise
Every echo from the stage felt like it know—
[Chorus]
This is the center stage of us
Two hearts
One fearless rush
If the crowd goes quiet
If the curtains fall
I still want you through it all
We’re hanging on every whispered “stay”
All I want is one more day
If the world won’t cheer for both of us
Let it hear the center stage of us
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
So what if life keeps missing our cue?
What if the dream comes calling for you?
Will you remember
The cheap seats
The late nights
The cracked-open truth?
[swelling strings]
I’ll clap till my hands break
I’ll shout till the walls shake
Even from the back row
I’ll still ache
For every “almost” we didn’t get to take
[soft
Near-whisper]
If you go flying
Don’t forget
Who held the net
[Chorus]
[crescendo]
[Outro]
House lights up
Crowd goes home
But we stay
On this worn-out floor alone
You say
“Someday
We’ll both be enough”
I say
“Someday’s here
It’s us”
No trophies
Just our tangled trust
And this forever
Center stage of us
