Steal My Show
TobyMac Lyrics

Another cold night
TobyMac is describing the present moment of a cold night.

Another late flight
TobyMac is also describing another late flight.

It's almost show time and Diverse city's waiting on me
TobyMac is about to perform and his crew, Diverse city, is waiting for him.

We've got a packed house
The venue for the show is fully packed with people.

The crowd is calling out
The audience is eagerly waiting for the show to start.

They want the beat to drop but what we really need is you
The audience wants the music to start, but what they really need is to feel connected to the performer.

If you wanna steal my show
TobyMac is inviting someone or the audience to take center stage.

I'll sit back and watch you go
TobyMac is saying he will allow someone else to take over and he’ll enjoy the moment.

If you got something to say
TobyMac is asking if someone has something to share.

Go on and take it away
He’s inviting the other person to speak up and share what they’ve got.

Need you to steal my show
TobyMac is excited to see someone else take the lead in the show.

Can't wait to watch you go oh oh oh
He’s really anticipating to see the other person shine.

So take it away
TobyMac wants someone else to take over.

So now the crowd is hyped
The audience is really excited now.

That you showed up tonight
They are excited that the special guest or the person being invited to take centerstage has arrived.

Anticipating, craving something more than smoke and lights
The audience is craving for a deeper connection and the performance is more than just lights and smoke.

So I'll step out the way
To let the other person take the lead, TobyMac is stepping aside.

I'll give you set a stage
TobyMac is setting the stage for the other person to take over.

Alright, spotlight, give 'em what they came for
TobyMac is giving a signal to turn on the spotlight and to give the audience what they were hoping to see.

When you arrive
When the other person takes over the stage.

We come to life
The performer makes the audience come to life.

Our hearts collide, they're beating in the same time
TobyMac is describing the feeling of everyone in the same room.

You're coming through
The person taking over is coming to the spotlight.

All eyes on you
Everyone’s eyes are on the person taking over.

No matter who we are
Regardless of who we are.

No matter what we do
Everything we do doesn’t matter.

Every day we can choose
Every day we have the chance to choose.

To say..
To decide what kind of impact we make.

My life!
TobyMac is now using a personal note.

My pride!
He’s including his pride and ego.

My heart!
TobyMac is also including his heart in the list of things he’s surrendering.

It's all yours now
He’s putting everything in the hands of the person taking over.

My fame!
TobyMac also includes his fame.

My feet!
He’s talking about his ability to move on his own.

My family, my career
TobyMac includes his family and his career.

It's you I wanna live for
Ultimately, TobyMac is saying that he wants to do his job for the good of others and not for himself.
