Stand in Ovation

*co-written with Haley White

every thought was a play that you starred in
i can’t keep from clapping, i’m begging your pardon
but your radiating underneath that spotlight
this audience seat feels like a cage
it’s all i can do to keep from jumping onstage
because of the way that you look tonight
 
i’m yelling encore
i stand in ovation for you
wish i could do more
wish there was more i could do
 
give me your script, i will write myself in
you can be the new hero to my heroine
forget the dialogue, let’s get to the curtain call
we can hide in the wings where nobody’s watching
i know that your lips can do a lot more than talking
come on baby let’s break down the fourth wall
 
it’s intermission, i’m sitting here wishing
that they keep the lights on for the last scene
there’s not much time before your last bow
yet somehow i still keep hoping
that when you look out i’m the face in the crowd that you see
wish you could do more
wish you could give more to me
