30 seconds

[Verse 1]
Thirty seconds
Eyes still closed
Heart kicks harder
Like it suddenly knows
Cold floor
Warm skin
Breath in
Breath deep
All that weight
Shakes off my sleep
[Chorus]
Thirty seconds is enough for ecstasy
To wake the day up inside of me
To wake up the beast I tried to tame
To turn my quiet into flame
To want a brighter kind of morning glow
To make me reach for a better tomorrow
Let everyone see
What I could be
[Verse 2]
Mirror cracked
But the gaze is clear
Old doubts fade
When the pulse is near
One small spark
In the dark of my chest
That tiny fire
Won’t let me rest
[Chorus]
Thirty seconds is enough for ecstasy
To wake the day up inside of me
To wake up the beast I tried to tame
To turn my quiet into flame
To want a brighter kind of morning glow
To make me reach for a better tomorrow
Let everyone see
What I could be
[Bridge]
From the first slow breath
To the rush
To the leap
I am loud
I am light
I am more than my sleep (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
Thirty seconds is enough for ecstasy
To wake the day up inside of me
To wake up the brightness buried low
To let that wild
Wild river flow
To want a brighter kind of morning glow
To make me reach for a better tomorrow
Let everyone see
What I could be
