A few screams rose up again from the front rows, and I chuckled. I adjusted the mic slightly and looked down at my hands as I started to strum, the opening chords humming through the speakers.
“I haven’t played this for anyone,” I said, glancing up, meeting the lights. “But this is Unscripted.”
I'm standing on the edge of all I know
A cliff so high, I'm scared to let go
Behind me lies the life I thought I wanted
Ahead's a choice that leaves me haunted
You came like lightning, sudden and bright
Breaking through the walls I built so tight
Now I'm suspended between the sky and ground
Hoping solid footing can be found
I’m halfway here, between the fall and the fear
The risk feels close, but I can’t make it clear
My heart’s spinning fast, I don’t know where to land
I’m scared to jump, though I want to take your hand
I’m halfway there, and it’s all unscripted
Wild and unknown, and I’m not sure I’ll risk it
The life behind me’s a story carved in stone
But it’s heavier now, and I feel alone
If I let go, will I fly or break?
Or will your hands be there when I wake?
You came like a storm I couldn’t foresee
Pulling at the pieces I thought were only me
I’m hanging here, between doubt and desire
Feeling the spark that could set me on fire
We built it on make believe, lights and lies
But I saw forever when I met your eyes
We had a script, but you tore it in two
Nothing fake ever felt this true
I don’t know what this is or how it came to be
But whatever it is, it’s wildly, beautifully unscripted
