Stage Lights

I'm not much of a talker
I can't seem to get the words out
It's like they get stuck somewhere between my brain and my mouth
I'm not very popular
Instantly forgettable was always more my style
It's ok just shut up and force a smile

But I come alive under state lights
And I live for big nights
And I'm at my best with a guitar and mic
And I don't speak in real life
But god do I do night life
I don't know why but I
I come alive

Please don't ask me to socialise
I'm not much of a social butterfly
But I fly, I fly so high up here
People say I've got a quiet voice
I'm shouting but I'm never heard
From up here you hear every damn word

But I come alive under state lights
And I live for big nights
And I'm at my best with a guitar and mic
And I don't speak in real life
But god do I do night life
I don't know why but I
I come alive

So don't say you know me
If you never come to see me
You can't possibly see me behind these walls
Trapped inside my own damn mind
I try to get out but I can't help but hide
But something about music and bright lights
A big stage and late nights
Makes it all alright

Cause I come alive under stage lights
And I live for big nights
And I'm at my best with a guitar and mic
And I don't speak in real life
But god do I do night life
I don't know why but I
I come alive
