Tie My Laces

Lyrics From YouTube

[Verse 1]

Just a young boy at the starting line

With his tunes on and his shoes untied

With a chip on his shoulder side

From what he tripped on the last time

He's Buzz Lightyear with no hyperdrive

He's like Mike here with no Nike Flight

And he'll fall down with his shoes untied

And he'll trip onto the finish line

[Pre-Chorus]

And I'll try to write this song

If he gets there

And I want to write this song

[Chorus]

I'd like to be the one who is on the podium

Take a photo for my mom

And show her that I've made it

I'd like to be the one who could write the perfect song

Just to show you that I've won

But I'll have to tie my laces

If I'm gonna make it

[Verse 2]

In that moment when they hit the lights

It looked golden, but it didn't feel right

He was frozen with the worst frostbite

Was he chosen like an Israelite?

Picked the quotient that you can't divide

Like two oceans, stranded on the other side

His devotions on the other side

His emotions on the other side

[Pre-Chorus]

And I'll try to write this song

If he gets there

And I want to write this song

[Chorus]

I'd like to be the one who is on the podium

Take a photo for my mom

And show her that I've made it

I'd like to be the one who could write the perfect song

Just to show you that I've won

But I'll have to tie my laces

If I'm gonna make it

[Bridge]

And then I'll end this song in 2051

And sing it for my son

And then I'll tie his laces

Just a young boy at the starting line, line, line, line

[Chorus]

I'd like to be the one who is on the podium

Take a photo for my mom

And show her that I've made it

I'd like to be the one who could write the perfect song

Just to show you that I've won

But I'll have to tie my laces

If I'm gonna make it

[Outro]

Just a young boy at the starting line
