Dressed to Win

[Verse 1]
Pin the silver number to my jacket seam
Powder on the collar, lights above the beam
Every breath is measured, every step is clean
Tonight the room will learn exactly what I mean

[Pre-Chorus]
Curtain holding still
One heartbeat, then we rise
I can feel the judges lean
Before they open their eyes

[Chorus]
Watch me take the stage
Watch the whole room turn
Every move is razor-bright
Every lesson learned
Raise the crystal high
Let the final count begin
We came dressed to win tonight
And we are walking in

[Verse 2]
Gold dust on the mirror, pins along the sleeve
The band is in position, no reason to believe
In anything but practice, muscle, nerve, and heat
I hear the first applause before I find the beat

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold the silence tight
Then cut it with a smile
When the spotlight finds my face
I’ll make it stay awhile

[Chorus]
Watch me take the stage
Watch the whole room turn
Every move is razor-bright
Every lesson learned
Raise the crystal high
Let the final count begin
We came dressed to win tonight
And we are walking in

[Bridge]
If the floor gives way, I’ll turn it into flight
If the room goes cold, I’ll make it warm with light
No borrowed crown, no accidental shine
I built this moment one rehearsal at a time

[Final Chorus]
Watch me take the stage
Watch the whole room turn
Every move is razor-bright
Every lesson learned
Raise the crystal high
Let the final count begin
We came dressed to win tonight
And we are walking in

[Outro]
Take the picture, mark the date
Leave the trophy by the gate
We gave them wonder, we gave them fire
One more bow, then we climb higher
