I gotta get there, I gotta get seen.

it's big, it's big...
'cause I don't wanna be
anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
I'm tired of lookin' 'round rooms wondering
what I gotta do, or who I'm supposed to be
'cause I don't wanna be
anything other than me.

it sure makes everything else seem so small.

I would've said, "I'll save you without you singing,"
because that's how much faith I have in him.

at this point, we're all going on tour together.
but we're so excited to just be together for one more week.
so you know, when I saw them cheering, "save, save, save!"

they could be like, "don't save him! use it on me next week!"
so just to see them all happy made me cry.
