The Next Scene Starts With You

מילים

[Verse 1] Evelyn Ponce keeps a notebook close Names of every part she hopes to know She sings along in the kitchen light Turns an ordinary Tuesday into opening night She loves the rush of a perfect refrain A guitar chord breaking through the windowpane From indie hearts to an old-school spark She carries every favorite sound in her heart [Pre-Chorus] She says, “One day they’ll call my name” And nothing’s gonna keep her in the same place [Chorus] Evelyn, run toward the life you see Take the long way, take the leading scene Paris waiting with a ticket in your hand Laughing by the river, making bigger plans Evelyn, let the whole world know You were born for the bright lights and the open road Every dream is a door you can push right through Evelyn Ponce, the next scene starts with you [Verse 2] She practices lines while the coffee brews Changes every ending till it feels brand new A little brave, a little wild, a little unsure Still she walks through every unlocked door She wants a balcony, a borrowed view A late café table and a sky of blue No perfect map, no script to obey Just a thousand small reasons to savor the day [Pre-Chorus] She says, “One day I’ll take that flight” With a suitcase full of hope and a heart held high [Chorus] Evelyn, run toward the life you see Take the long way, take the leading scene Paris waiting with a ticket in your hand Laughing by the river, making bigger plans Evelyn, let the whole world know You were born for the bright lights and the open road Every dream is a door you can push right through Evelyn Ponce, the next scene starts with you [Bridge] If the spotlight trembles, let it tremble bright If the first take falters, take another try The world is wide, but her courage is wider She’s got a hopeful heart and a future climbing higher [Final Chorus] Evelyn, run toward the life you see Take the long way, take the leading scene Paris waiting with a ticket in your hand Laughing by the river, making bigger plans Evelyn, let the whole world know You were born for the bright lights and the open road Every dream is a door you can push right through Evelyn Ponce, the next scene starts with you [Outro] The next scene starts with you Evelyn Ponce, enjoy the view
