Lyrics

[1]
What will he do
Everyone’s watching
There’s something to prove
People are talking
So much on the line
That’s what they’re thinking
All of this time
The clock has been ticking

[2]
Running a race
Climbing a mountain
Keep up the pace
Build the momentum
Rolling along
Then you find out
The moment is gone
Time running out

[chorus]
We were just getting started
Sunshine and humming a tune
Just getting started
Like a summer vacation in June
Just getting started
On all the dreams we were talking about
How did we go from just getting started
To time running out

[3]
You started out a beginner
With no reputation
Now you’re a winner
There’s the anticipation
Everyone watches
Then you find out
It slipped through your fingers
With time running out

[chorus]
We were just getting started
Sunshine and humming a tune
Just getting started
Like a summer vacation in June
Just getting started
On all the dreams we were talking about
How did we go from just getting started
To time running out

How clever to find two emoji that already have a bit of narrative in them! A relatable topic, and the rhythm works well for it.
