[Verse 1]
Taped my name on the paper
Shaky hand
Little town gym floor
Mama laughing in the bleachers
“I’ve heard you sing this since you were four”
[Pre-Chorus]
Heart pounding through my T-shirt
Mic stand colder than my nerves
Then that first word left my mouth and
Every eye leaned in to hear
[Chorus]
Now I’m a small-town supernova
Blowing up this borrowed stage
Got the whole crowd singing over
Every doubt I ever faced
Glitter in my hair
Spotlight in my eyes
Holding up that plastic star like a prize
Yeah
I won the local show tonight
But it feels like the whole world’s mine
[Verse 2]
Old coach running the spotlight
Friends row screaming my name
Principal stuck on the side cam
Trying not to cry on frame
[Pre-Chorus]
Gold ribbon in my pocket
Confetti stuck to my shoes
Did I just wake up my future?
Did I just outrun my blues?
[Chorus]
’Cause I’m a small-town supernova
Blowing up this borrowed stage
Got the whole crowd singing over
Every doubt I ever faced
Glitter in my hair
Spotlight in my eyes
Holding up that plastic star like a prize
Yeah
I won the local show tonight
And it feels like the whole world’s mine
[Bridge]
Maybe it’s just folding chairs
Maybe it’s just Friday night
But I swear this echo in the air
Sounds a little like my life
(oh yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m a small-town supernova
Blowing up this borrowed stage
Got the whole crowd singing over
Every doubt I ever faced
Glitter in my hair
Spotlight in my eyes
Holding up that plastic star like a prize
From this tiny gym to an endless sky
I won the show
And now I know why
Yeah
I step out under those lights
And I feel like a star tonight
