showtime

Ryan Adams

If the lights could lead you here, would you go?
If your arms were strong enough
to hold me dear
would you let go?
If the stars were out tonight how would we know?
Falling through the leaves of last season's clothes

Say what you want to, carry what you can
If you were alone could you walk or could you stand
Under the lights shining in your eyes
With everybody waiting for you
alone in the spotlight
Minus the tears and the heartache and the lies
Hearts racing when it's showtime
But you just take your time

If a walk could make us know
Would you stand in line
While mine had held another's?
Or would your fingers let go
Or could you tow the line
In hopes of a tomorrow

Say what you want to, carry what you can
If you were alone could you walk or could you stand
Under the lights flashing in your eyes
With everybody waiting for you
alone in the spotlight
Minus the tears and the heartache and the lies
Hearts racing when it's showtime
But you just take your time
It's showtime
But you just take your time

Say what you want to, carry what you can
If you were alone could you walk or could you stand
Under the lights flashing in your eyes
With everybody waiting for you, alone in the spotlight
Minus the tears and the heartache and the lies
Hearts racing when it's showtime
But you just take your time
Hearts racing when it's showtime
But you just take your time
