READY STEADY CAN’T HOLD ME BACK
READY STEADY GIVE ME GOOD LUCK
READY STEADY NEVER LOOK BACK
LET’S GET STARTED READY STEADY GO!
Everything is blurring before me
The scenery is blowing on past me
But I won’t let it sway my aim
I’ll keep my eyes ahead, on my destination
(A) map I can’t depend on it useless
Might as well just burn it to ashes
The answer’s buried somewhere deep
I gotta find the truth, with my own two hands
I’m running on (frantically)
In search (in search) of what I’m missing
My beating heart is pounding, nearly deafening
I feel it’s just a beat away from bursting
Your shouting voice (echoing)
I hear it in my memory
I’ve wasted too much time just standing here,
There’s not a second more to spare
READY STEADY GO
Even if I’m weary from battle,
Covered up in scars, I will smile
My soul is mine alone to keep
It won’t be easily taken away from me
If beyond that hill in the distance
I met you and I’m being honest,
I wouldn’t know where to begin
Like hey, what would I say?
I don’t stand a chance!
I’m running on (frantically)
In search of what I’m missing
My beating heart is pounding, nearly deafening
I feel it’s just a beat away from bursting
Your shouting voice (echoing)
I hear it in my memory
I’ve wasted too much time just standing here,
There’s not a second more to spare
READY STEADY GO
(Sigh) are you ready?
READY STEADY CAN’T HOLD ME BACK
READY STEADY GIVE ME GOOD LUCK
READY STEADY NEVER LOOK BACK
LET’S GET STARTED READY STEADY GO!
My beating heart (running on)
Under that sky we’ve dreamed of
I can’t stop my feelings crying out,
They’re just about to overflow and drive me crazy
I’ll reach you soon (hopefully it’s soon)
I swear won’t be much longer
The sunlight’s shining down across my path
I think that’s all the sign I need
READY STEADY GO
AND PLEASE, TRUST ME
