lyrics

Never wanna become somebody
Who can’t come through when it counts
Worked so hard and trained my body
It’s time to cash it out
I’m ready now
But I’m saving up my best for the time that counts

It’s go big or go home and I won’t take second place
One role for one goal and the gold is what I chase

Saving grace
For the time when I’m under the lights
Saving for that time and place and those cold Norwegian nights
I’ll show everybody
And they’ll all love me ‘cause I’m saving them some grace

A simple life full of simple things is the path that speaks to some
Small pleasures and easy dreams leave you little to overcome
I’m not so simple
I’m a million wonderful things and you’ll see the sum

I’ll go big ‘cause I know that I won’t take second place
One roll ‘cause that gold is the only thing I chase

Saving grace
For the time when I’m under the lights
Saving for that time and place and those cold Norwegian nights
I’ll show everybody
And they’ll all love me cause I’m saving them some grace

Saving grace
I’ll show them something new
Save ‘cause in that special place I’ll know what I’m gonna do
I’ll show everybody
I know that they’ll love me
They say she’s a sadist
But they’ll say I’m the greatest cause I’m saving them my grace
Saving grace – no I won’t let ‘em down at all
