Lyrics

I tried to do it classy, cool, Ended up lookin’ like a fool, Spilled my coffee, missed the beat, Still got glitter on my feet. Wrong turn, bad call, little disaster, Thought I’d learn a whole lot faster, Oops again — well, what a show, But at least now I know. If you never jump, you never fly, Never laugh, never even try, Safe and sorry’s not my style tonight. Make a mess, make a move, That’s how you got somethin’ to prove, If I fall, I fall in style, I’ll be smilin’ all the while. Only hearts that never try Never fail and never fly, So I’ll take my wrong steps too, That’s what brave girls do. Paint outside the lines a little, Hit the high note kinda brittle, Maybe strange, maybe not refined, But I’m not stayin’ stuck behind. Every “oops” is worth the story, Every slip can lead to glory, Perfect girls are kinda boring, I want life a little stormy. If you lock the door, you’ll never know, What could shine, what could grow, I’d rather trip than never leave the ground. Make a mess, make a move, That’s how you got somethin’ to prove, If I fall, I fall in style, I’ll be smilin’ all the while. Only hearts that never try Never fail and never fly, So I’ll take my wrong steps too, That’s what brave girls do. Oops, I did it not quite right, Still I’m dancing through the night, Little mistakes, big neon signs, Say I’m living, not just gettin’ by. Final Chorus Make a mess, make a move, That’s how you got somethin’ real to prove, If I fall, I rise up new, With a better point of view. Only hearts that never try Stay the same their whole damn life, So I’ll take my wrong steps too, That’s what brave girls do.
