Pulse of the Mainstage (versione 3)

Verse

Empty seats still warm where the crowd used to stand

Confetti settling soft like the first fall of snow

Last chord fading out from the amps in my hand

I lace up tighter before the house lights go low

Four a.m., the roadies rolling up the wire

Every string of neon dimming down to gray

But my sneakers hit the boards like they're catching fire

Chasing the beat that refuses to fade

Pre-Chorus

So how do I let go

Of the only light I've known

Watch me turn this ending

Into a road of my own

Chorus

This is the pulse of the mainstage

Beating under my feet, refusing to fade

Every goodbye's just a turn of the page

I run toward the dawn that the dark couldn't trade

This is the pulse of the mainstage

Carrying me, carrying me

Verse

Treadmill glowing blue in an empty gym

Old setlist crumpled up under my shoe

Sweat where the spotlight used to swim

Building a new one out of the view

Six more reps for the ticket stub I kept

Six more miles for the roar I used to know

Every step is a promise that I haven't wrecked

Every breath is a seed I'm learning to grow

Pre-Chorus

So how do I let go

Of the only light I've known

Watch me turn this ending

Into a road of my own

Chorus

This is the pulse of the mainstage

Beating under my feet, refusing to fade

Every goodbye's just a turn of the page

I run toward the dawn that the dark couldn't trade

This is the pulse of the mainstage

Carrying me, carrying me

Bridge

I used to think the curtain falling meant it's over

Now I feel it stitching something new into my chest

Every scar's a stage light I carry in my shoulder

Every finish line's a stage where I get to rest

Chorus

This is the pulse of the mainstage

Beating under my feet, refusing to fade

Every goodbye's just a turn of the page

I run toward the dawn that the dark couldn't trade

This is the pulse of the mainstage

Carrying me, carrying me
