The Line
[Verse 1]
Dry mouth, push it out, I can hear my heart pound
A hero's what I'm not
Voices scream, flashes flare, frozen as the people stare
My crucifixion shot

[Verse 2]
Friends were electric on the western side when triangles
Were shifting on the floor
Squeezing out the breath that I don't have, they're quiet now
They only want two more

[Pre-Chorus]
And you step to the line
And you step to the line

[Verse 3]
Every shot I've taken has led me to this moment
Since I was four feet high
Big D is watching, I remember what he taught me
Don't let him see you cry

[Pre-Chorus]
And you step to the line
And you step to the line
[Chorus]
Try to see your future from the line
And you're clinging to the notion you'll be fine
But the circle's gettin' smaller all the time
Try to see your future from the line
And you're clinging to the notion you'll be fine
But the circle's gettin' smaller all the time

[Verse 1]
Dry mouth, push it out, I can hear my heart pound
A hero's what I'm not
Voices scream, flashes flare, frozen as the people stare
My crucifixion shot

[Pre-Chorus]
And you step to the line
And you step to the line

[Chorus]
Try to see your future from the line
And you're clinging to the notion you'll be fine
But the circle's gettin' smaller all the time
Try to see your future from the line
And you're clinging to the notion you'll be fine
But the circle's gettin' smaller all the time
Try to see your future from the line
And you're clinging to the notion you'll be fine
But the circle's getting smaller all the time
Try to see your future from the line
And you're clinging to the notion you'll be fine
But the circle's getting smaller all the time
