[Verse 1] Your voice Your joy Carnival is calling my name Calendar says "dentist day Don't be late" But the neighboring cracked tooth Slid ahead in the line Guess I keep all my wisdom And still lose track of time [Pre-Chorus] Feel that drum in my chest Paper letters on the floor Health check in the mailbox But I'm dancing to ignore [Chorus] Welcome carnival I choose color over fear If my mind is feeling fine Then my body wants to cheer Eat half Walk double Laugh triple with the band Welcome carnival Come and take me by the hand [Verse 2] "Take it all off All fake" Dentist joke in my head Plastic teeth Plastic smiles I’ll keep the real ones instead First invite to a screening Like a ticket to get old But my pulse is in the street Painted cheeks Glitter gold [Pre-Chorus] I feel good So I stay Where the dancers spin and shout If a thought turns me sick I just laugh and flush it out [Chorus] [Bridge] Maybe tomorrow I’ll be careful Count my steps Count my years Tonight I count confetti Not my doubts Not my fears Health starts in the mind So I toast to what I’ve got One life One loud parade I’m gonna use the whole shot [Chorus]
