[Verse 1] Hands on the stand, shoes on the mark Count to three, then I talk in the dark I clear my throat, I miss the first line Laugh it off, then I try one more time [Verse 2] Room feels small till I step to the edge Heart in my ribs like a kid on a ledge I hear my breath and I hear my feet One little crack, then I find the beat [Pre-Chorus] Mic check, I’m still here Mic check, don’t go clear One-two, let it ring One more take, one more thing [Chorus] Mic check, mic check I’m learning my own name Mic check, mic check I’m not afraid to stay One-two, one-two I found a way through Mic check, mic check Now I sound like me too [Verse 3] I used to chase every borrowed tone Try too hard, make it all wrong Now I bend, I breathe, I let it shake And the mess I make is mine to make [Pre-Chorus] Mic check, I’m still here Mic check, now I’m clear One-two, let it ride I don’t hide, I don’t hide [Chorus] Mic check, mic check I’m learning my own name Mic check, mic check I’m not afraid to stay One-two, one-two I found a way through Mic check, mic check Now I sound like me too [Dance Break] [Instrumental dance break] Step, slide, turn Catch that grin Count it out Then go again Hands up high Feet on time Little stumble Big shine [Bridge] I heard the nerves in the room Then I heard them leave Every rough little edge Started sounding like me No more waiting for perfect No more asking to prove I take the first air And I move [Final Chorus] Mic check, mic check I know my own name Mic check, mic check I’m here and I’ll stay One-two, one-two I walked right through Mic check, mic check Now I sound like me too Mic check, mic check Yeah, I own this room Mic check, mic check I found my voice in you
