[Verse 1] I don’t have a million followers Don’t light up every screen Nobody’s making reaction videos About a song I wrote at 2:15 No label calling my number No headlines with my name But somewhere somebody’s driving home And humming my refrain [Pre-Chorus] Maybe that’s enough Maybe that’s the point [Chorus] I may never go viral Never break the internet Never cash a platinum paycheck Or be somebody they won’t forget But a few people heard it And a few people stayed A stranger felt a little less alone Because of words I laid And honestly That’s bigger than fame [Verse 2] I watch the numbers rising slowly Ten views, then twenty-three But every single little heartbeat there Means more than trends to me I’m not chasing perfect timing Or trying to fit the mold I’m just leaving little pieces of myself Out there for hearts to hold [Bridge] And maybe years from now Nobody remembers my name But these songs still carried love And that matters just the same [Chorus] I may never go viral Never have the whole world sing But if one person needed this tonight Then this was everything Yeah a few people heard it And they knew that it was real Turns out you don’t need stadium lights To prove the way you feel [Verse 3] Some nights I sit here wondering If anybody really cares Then I read a quiet comment From somebody somewhere Saying “I played this on a hard day And somehow made it through” They’ll never know those little words Keep saving people too [Build] So maybe I don’t need the spotlight Or my face on magazine stands Maybe songs were always meant To travel heart to heart instead [Final Chorus – Extended] I may never go viral Never have the whole world sing But if one person needed this tonight Then this was everything Yeah a few people heard it And they knew that it was real Turns out you don’t need stadium lights To prove the way you feel No, I don’t need forever Or my name in flashing frames If a song can reach somebody’s soul That’s bigger than fame [Outro] Mm-mm Bigger than fame Mm-mm Out there for hearts to hold
