Drum Roll

[Intro]
[drums alone
Toms building]
Ba-da-da-da-da (hey!)
Heart in my throat
Ba-da-da-da-da
Here we go

[Verse 1]
Sweaty palms on the mic
I can taste the cheap stage smoke
Friends packed in the front
Laughing like this is a joke
Under flickering bar lights
Every eye’s a loaded gun
Clock hands crawling
To the count of one

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve rehearsed this
In my bedroom a thousand times
But the room tilts
When the sound guy gives the sign

[Chorus]
Drum roll
Hit me like a tidal wave
Make my little life feel brave
Bang on every fear I hold
Drum roll
Shake the dust off all my doubt
Wake the quiet
Knock it out
Crash right through my scared and small
Drum roll
I want it all

[Verse 2]
Mom texted “good luck”
I said “yeah
I’ll be fine”
But my voice cracks in my head
On every line
Sweat stuck to my shirt
Set list taped to the floor
I can feel the future
Pounding at the door

[Pre-Chorus]
Then that look
From the band like “you alright?”
And the sticks rise
Like a storm about to strike

[Chorus]
Drum roll
Hit me like a tidal wave
Make my little life feel brave
Bang on every fear I hold
Drum roll
Shake the dust off all my doubt
Wake the quiet
Knock it out
Crash right through my scared and small
Drum roll
I want it all

[Bridge]
[everything drops
Floor tom pulse]
One breath
Two breath
Nerves buzz
Teeth set
This is the part
Before the leap
Where every promise
Starts to speak

[Chorus]
Drum roll
Hit me like a tidal wave
Make my little life feel brave
Bang on every fear I hold
Drum roll
Shake the dust off all my doubt
Wake the quiet
Knock it out
Crash right through my scared and small
Drum roll
I want it all
(yeah, I want it all)
