In the back seat wishing you were front row
And if you left, it's not like they would know
Dreams they are shimmering in lights
Far in the distance out of sight
Silence the voice longing to be let out
Dimming your star, you just hide in the crowd
Saving for tickets you won't buy
You're missing out on the theater of your time
Forgetting it's your time

Ey-yo, ey-yo, when the curtain's coming down
Ey-yo, ey-yo, when the lights are going out
Ey-yo, ey-yo, did you dance like you don't care
It's not a life unless you live with confetti in your hair

A masterpiece with the colors gone pale
Won't get the cheers by the time it's unveiled
Afraid they'll criticize the flaws
You'll never witness the applause
With bubbles flat in a glass of champagne
Forgot the words for the part that you play
Missed celebrations and parades
Cause you were worried it would rain
But it never rains

Ey-yo, ey-yo, when the curtain's coming down
Ey-yo, ey-yo, when the lights are going out
Ey-yo, ey-yo, did you dance like you don't care
It's not a life unless you live with confetti in your hair
Ey-yo, ey-yo, when the curtain's coming down
Ey-yo, ey-yo, when the lights are going out
Ey-yo, ey-yo, did you dance like you don't care
It's not a life unless you live with confetti in your hair

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh

It's not a life unless you live with confetti in your hair
Ey-yo, ey-yo
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ey-yo, ey-yo
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ey-yo, ey-yo, did you dance like you don't care
It's not a life unless you live with confetti in your hair
