[Verse 1]
Woke up with a tune on my tongue
Half a line
Then it slipped
Then it spun
Coffee getting cold by the sink
While I hum what I’m scared to think
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been humming in the background
Fading in the crowd
Talking like I’m quiet
When my heart is loud
If the clock keeps counting
What am I gonna do?
If I leave this planet
Before I leave what’s true?
[Chorus]
Don’t die with the music still in you
Don’t leave all your colors in black and blue
Sing it out shaky
Sing it off key
Let the world hear what you can’t keep
Don’t die with the music still in you
Every little heartbeat’s a debut
Let it break
Let it bend
Let it free
I won’t go with the music still in me (oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
Old fear in a brand-new coat
Same weight sitting deep in my throat
But my name on the edge of the page
Is burning like a fuse to the stage
[Pre-Chorus]
All the almost stories
All the near-miss dreams
Living in the margins
Bursting at the seams
If I keep on waiting
I know how this ends
Silence at the curtain
Nothing to defend
[Chorus]
Don’t die with the music still in you
Don’t leave all your colors in black and blue
Sing it out shaky
Sing it off key
Let the world hear what you can’t keep
Don’t die with the music still in you
Every little heartbeat’s a debut
Let it break
Let it bend
Let it free
I won’t go with the music still in me (yeah-yeah)
[Bridge]
Hands up
Heart wide
I’m done staying small (hey!)
If I fall on the high note
I still gave it all
Every scar in rhythm
Every tear on time
I’m alive
I’m alive
This is my line
[Chorus]
Don’t die with the music still in you
Don’t leave all your colors in black and blue
Sing it out shaky
Sing it off key
Let the world hear what you can’t keep
Don’t die with the music still in you
Every little heartbeat’s a debut
Let it break
Let it bend
Let it free
I won’t go with the music still in me
I won’t go with the music still in me (oh-oh)
I won’t go with the music still in me
