I used to keep one foot in the doorway Ready to leave before I’d stay Smile like nothing ever touched me Then turn around and walk away But something’s changing in the quiet I feel it moving under my skin Like a spark I almost buried Trying to find its way back in I’m moving closer to the fire Closer than I’ve been before I’m not saying I’m fearless But I’m not hiding anymore Closer to the fire Let it burn, let it shine Maybe I’m still learning But tonight feels like mine I hear them calling from the darkness See the lights across the room Try to stand a little taller Like I’ve got nothing left to prove But underneath the jacket and the spotlight There’s a heart that still beats fast I can play it cool for a moment But I know it never lasts I’m moving closer to the fire Closer than I’ve been before I’m not saying I’m fearless But I’m not hiding anymore Closer to the fire Let it burn, let it shine Maybe I’m still learning But tonight feels like mine Maybe I don’t need to be someone I was never meant to be Maybe there’s a little courage In letting people see me I’m moving closer to the fire Closer than I’ve been before I’m not saying I’m fearless But I’m not hiding anymore Closer to the fire Let it burn, let it shine Maybe I’m still learning But tonight feels like mine
