[Verse 1]
Well I've been stuck in my head, wondering
What's it gonna take to break the mold?
I'm searching for something, that fire, that lightning
I used to think was uncontainable
[Pre-Chorus]
And if there's one thing in my life
That I've been fighting day and night
Well, it's the fear of changing nothing
Oh, yeah
So when I open up my eyes
And shake that worry from my mind
I check the clock, and it's still running
[Chorus]
So, let me show you something new
I need a little revolution
This could be like a revelation
Make you see, that a change is overdue
Let me show you something new
(So let me show you something
Let me show you something)
[Verse 2]
I think it, I say it, I write it, erase it
And break my back so I don't let you down
I'm restless and twisted, strung out, addicted
Chasing after picture-perfect sound
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, and if there's one thing in my life
That I've been fighting day and night
Well, it's my fear of flying stand-by
Oh, yeah
I feel I've opened up my eyes
I shook the nightmare from my mind
I check the clock, and now it's my time
[Chorus]
So let me show you something new
I need a little revolution
This could be, yeah, like a revelation
Make you see, that a change is overdue
Let me show you something new
[Bridge]
Yeah, come on
We strike the match, ignite the room
Let's turn up the sound to something new
Breathe in the fire, then breathe it out
Sing it back!
We strike the match, ignite the room
Let's turn up the sound to something new
Breathe in the fire, then breathe it out
Sing it back!
[Chorus]
So let me show you something new
I need a little revolution
This could be, yeah, like a revelation
Make you see that a change is overdue
Let me show you something new
So let me show you something new
I need a little revolution
This could be, yeah, like a revelation
Make you see that a change is overdue
Let me show you something new
