Lyrics
Take a Look At Us Now
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You can pack your bags and start skipping town
Hang up your hat when the show shuts down
But when the world says you ain't quite world-renowned
Don't count yourself out yet
When you hit that lonely and lowest low
Well, up's the only way left to go
You're meant to reinvent the show
So ain'tcha glad we met?
Turn that dull 'n dusty solo to a dazzling duet
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
Maybe we started pretty small
But take a look at us now
Take a look at us now
Suddenly standing ten-feet tall
Take a look at us now
Take a look at us now
Though we had no way to stay afloat
We were scared, they'd say it was all she wrote
We're ending on a sky-high note somehow
Buddy, you were all it took, so take a look at us now
When that perfect plan's goin' off the rails
A heap of trouble is on our tails
It's time to polish up those scales and give it all you got
If you're out of step, if you're out of sync
If you care too much what those critics think
Well, when you find your missing link
They don't get a second thought
'Cause in the center of the spotlight
We just might have found our spot
Tryin' our luck with every leap
Take a look at us now
Take a look at us now
The road could be steady, could be steep
Take a look at us now
Take a look at us now
Though we might be sunk upon first glance
Well, who'd thunk that we had a chance
And life could be a song and dance somehow
Buddy, you were all it took, so take a look at us now
So even whey you're terrified, just smile a smile a mile wide
'Cause bud, when you and I collide
Standing side by side
We're gonna take a great big bow
Won'tcha take a look at us now
Give us a spotlight and a crowd
Take a look at us now
Ready to sing our song out loud
Take a look at us now
Won'tcha take a look at us
Take a look at us
Take a look at us now
