They said I talked a little too loud
Dressed like Friday on a Monday
Every curtain in my bedroom
Was a stage where I could run away
They called it dreaming
I called it leaving
I’m a small-town supernova
Burning brighter as it’s over
You can watch me turn the silence gold
I’m too big for what I’ve always known
Mama waved beside the driveway
Daddy tried not to look scared
I had twenty dollars, red boots
And a heart that wasn’t staying there
They called it dreaming
I called it breathing
I’m a small-town supernova
Burning brighter as it’s over
You can watch me turn the silence gold
I’m too big for what I’ve always known
If I fall, I’ll fall like fire
Even ashes can rise higher
I’m a small-town supernova
Getting closer, getting bolder
Now the whole world knows what I have known
I was never meant to shine at home
