[Intro]
(Always a champion to me)

[Verse 1]
I console myself on waking up
This town will stay the same way, stay the same way
Grass-stains and fireworks on downtown summer nights
And when It took me back I had to ask
Oh, lost love, what can I say, what can I say?
Break hearts in living rooms
And drive back home to talk to you

[Pre-Chorus]
Midwestern nights, are you following me?
'Cause it's been four long years
Oh god, that constant change
Some city lights and a similar heartbeat
I guess I've grown a bit, but sometimes you've just got to-

[Chorus]
Change a lot, change a lot
You've gotta break a lot, break a lot
Gotta kill all your darlings
I know that it's hard, but you'll gain a lot, gain a lot
So when you're on the spot
Fight with some soul
'Cause you're always a champion to me
[Verse 2]
I wouldn't change one thing on growing up
I learned to love the bad parts, deal the sad parts
Things tend to turn out pretty great, okay, okay

And if I ever got a second chance
I'd know I'd never need a second chance
I'm ready, set, go. Clever, right? No
I'll never grow up, not one bit

[Pre-Chorus]
Midwestern nights, are you following me?
'Cause it's been four long years
Oh god, that constant change
Some city lights and a similar heartbeat
I guess I grew a little bit, but some things won't

[Chorus]
So change a lot, change a lot
You've gotta break a lot, break a lot
Look deep inside and I think that you'll find what you're
Searching for, searching for
So when you're on the floor
Fight with some soul
'Cause you're always a champion to me
[Outro]
Silver, silver and gold
The people I know and all my best friends
Alone, my heart tends to grow
I look at the sky and what I live for
When I'm alone in Indiana
The amber waves crash down into horizons
When I am home in Indiana
My small town dreams shine brighter than the moonlight

When I'm alone in Indiana
The amber waves crash down into horizons
When I am home in Indiana
My small town dreams shine brighter than the moonlight
When I'm alone in Indiana
The amber waves crash down into horizons
When I am home in Indiana
My small town dreams shine brighter than the moonlight

When I'm alone in Indiana
(Silver, silver and gold
The people I know and all my best friends)
The amber waves crash down into horizons
When I am home in Indiana
(Alone, my heart tends to grow
I look at the sky and what I live for)
My small town dreams shine brighter than the moonlight
When I'm alone in Indiana
(Silver, silver and gold)
The amber waves crash down into horizons
When I am home in Indiana
My small town dreams shine brighter than the moonlight
