Ryan Adams
Showtime
[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Say what you want to, carry what you can
If you were alone, could you walk, would you stand?
Under the lights shining in your eyes
And 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

[Verse 2]
If a walk could make us know
Would you stand in line while mine and held anothers'?
Or would your fingers let go?
Or could you toe the line in hopes of a tomorrow?

[Chorus]
Say what you want to, carry what you can
If you were alone, could you walk, would you stand?
Under the lights flashing in your eyes?
And 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
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Say what you want to, carry what you can
If you were alone, could you walk, would you stand?
Under the lights flashing in your eyes?
And everyone was 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
