"Here It Goes" lyrics

"Here It Goes"

On, it's on
I declare my room a scene
Gone, then gone
It's too much that they say you need
It's not perfection, yeah
How boring if it is
Nothing new for me

Light on up
With everybody watching you
Lights go down
Everything is yours to lose
First dancer takes the floor
Laugh what you can't ignore
What you gonna do

Waiting for attention
I'm not
Cut it to the left
And I rock
Need an invitation
I don't
Slide it to the right
And I roll

Here it goes
Crowning up the cool kid queen
There it goes
The competition show their teeth
I'll let them fight it out
It's just my party now
What I want to be

Stand on up
Everyone in queue in costume
Stare on out
Don't get sucked in for a second
Bright lights might say your name
They only light the stage
Nothing there to prove

Waiting for attention
I'm not
Cut it to the left
And I rock

Need an invitation
I don't
Slide it to the right
And I roll

Waiting for attention
I'm not
Cut it to the left
And I rock
Need an invitation
I don't
Slide it to the right
And I roll

Hey hey hey hey
Don't accept critique or credit
Hey hey hey hey
Definition always changes
It's not the same as yours
You could be so much more
The closer that you get

Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh

Waiting for attention
I'm not
Cut it to the left
And I rock
Need an invitation
I don't
Slide it to the right
And I roll

Waiting for attention
I'm not
Cut it to the left
And I rock
Need an invitation
I don't
Slide it to the right
And I roll
