It’s 2007, sitting in a theatre
I didn’t know what we’re ‘bout to watch
“Just some random movie”, oh yeah she said
Little did I know, it’d change my life
Every single scene
It made my heartbeat / like a drum
Come on, August Rush
A boy with melodies
With your two eyes bright open,
Oh you played the world
And I could feel the same
Yeah, you lit up my soul
Like every color in the sky
I found a spark inside
Mama, could I start to play six strings?
This might be the fire I’d keep forever
And I won’t let my studies fall behind
I know you want me to choose a safe path
But I feel drawn to follow my heart
Every single scene
It made my heartbeat / like a drum
Come on, August Rush
A boy with melodies
With your two eyes bright open,
Oh you played the world
And I could feel the same
Yeah, you lit up my soul
Like every color in the sky
I found a spark inside
Tell me you (still) hold on to that moment (yeah) when you felt truly alive
But when your life gets tough(tough), problems are piling up(up), you let it slip away
(Now bring it back to life)
Come on, August Rush
A boy with melodies
With your two eyes bright open,
Oh you played the world
And I could feel the same
Yeah, you lit up my soul
Like every color in the sky
I found a love I never knew
I didn’t know what we’re ‘bout to watch
“Just some random movie”, oh yeah she said
Little did I know, it’d change my life
Every single scene
It made my heartbeat / like a drum
