One Perfect Moment

I'm not freaking out, I'm really okay
I'm totally chill, or I will be someday
'Cause I'm so near the top
But there's so many mountains to climb.

There are plans to be planned, drills to be drilled
'Cause this dream that I've dreamed is becoming fulfilled
And I plan to enjoy it
But right now, I don't have the time.

Fade in on Campbell, an average teenager almost grown
Close-up on average grades from the average life she's known
Now zoom in the lens on the rest of her friends as she stays alone
Doing the work
Getting it right.

'Cause I know we'll have to be practically perfect
So I'll go above and beyond and pull through
This I can do
All that I'm asking is one perfect moment in time.

I'm seventeen, there are so many things that I can't control
If I start to freak or feel weak, I focus on just one goal
Turn down the panic, attack this routine like it owns my soul
Turn up the music, so loud that it swallows us whole.

And then there we are, we burn like a star
We're safe inside the world we know
Then suddenly I'm in prep for the climb
And here I go
High in the air, there is a moment just before you start to fall
Live in that one moment.

I know that if I can just stick the landing
Then I'll know, that somehow my life will be fine
And I'll go through the rest of my life understanding.
What it feels like to shine

The future's full of mysteries
So please let this be mine
My one perfect moment in time.
