School days are done,

There’s no going back where you came from,

So I'm up I'm gone,

If you can't stay here then you might as well move along.


Don't tell me,

How to talk when I been singing all my life,

Don't tell me,

How to walk when I've been running all my life.


I like being me,

If you can't handle that then you can just forget about me,

Oh I like being me,

If you Don't like that then we just Don't agree.


So get you head straight,

There’s no free ride now you're making your own mistakes,

So I'm moving on,

When you can't stay still then you might as well roll along.


Don't tell me,

How to talk when I been singing all my life,

Don't tell me,

How to walk when I've been running all my life.


I like being me,

If you can't handle that then you can just forget about me,

Oh I like being me,

If Don't like that then we just Don't agree.

I am ready for my close-up,
I am ready for love,
I am ready for my close-up,
I am ready for love.

You could fly to the moon,
Discover a wonder drug,
You could solve world hunger,
If you want it badly enough.

Find the love of your life,
Grow thicker hair,
Buy total satisfaction,
Or whatever gets you there.

I am ready for my close-up,
I am ready for love,
I am ready for my close-up,
I am ready for love.

. Did you make your bed this morning?
Did you write your thank-yous?
Your mind makes the world around you,
You’re behind the autocue.

All of this will be one day yours,
If you never let yourself stop,
And whatever you set your mind to,
Is the thing you’ve already got,
In here.

I am ready for my close-up,
I am ready for love,
I am ready for my close-up,
I am ready for love.

When they look into your eyes,
Will they see the madness in your heart?
Will they see how far you've travelled,
Just to reach the start.

Better to burn out brightly,
Than to fade and fizzle away,
So turn you heart into a firework,
And in the darkness follow your flame.

I am ready for my close-up,
I am ready for love,
I am ready for my close-up,
I am ready for love.

Im chasing moonbeams in my sleep,
Making myself promises I cannot keep to,
See through until the end,
I'm losing ground to you, But bound to you.

Im chasing fake gold,
I'm coming after you,
You're making me old,
You… Got me on the run,
Got me on the run,
Got me on the run now yeah, I'm breaking rainbows in my sleep,
Waking myself up,
Trying to heat up the cold,
Your soul and everything about this empty hole.

It's got us all on the run,
It's got us all on the run.

Im chasing fake gold,
I'm coming after you,
You're making me old,
You… Got me on the run,
Got me on the run,
Got me on the run now yeah.
