On the Starting Line Lyrics Meanings
by Kevin Hsu

Head down, eyes up
Toes on the line
Spikes on, my shirt's tucked in
And everybody's on the grind
Legs tight, Arms are sore
Work-outs, relays, and more
And everybody's on the grind
But me I'm running out of time
On the starting line
My heart's racing at the start
For this team, I got my part
Every point, every place
That's why he put me in this race
It's up to me
To secure victory
Sun up, sun down
Pretty soon I'll be lying on the ground
Sweaty palms, throat's dry
And my number's stuck to my thigh
Eight laps, gonna be a pain
But that's just part of the game
And everybody's on the grind
But me I'm running out of time
On the starting line
It's a waterfall start on this frigid cold day
Driving to a meet, 4 hours away
But the race doesn't start without delay
And everybody's on the grind
But me, I've run out of time
On the starting line
On your marks
Set
Go

Head down, eyes up
Toes on the line
Spikes on, my shirt's tucked in
And everybody's on the grind
Legs tight, Arms are sore
Work-outs, relays, and more
And everybody's on the grind
But me I'm running out of time
On the starting line
My heart's racing at the start
For this team, I got my part
Every point, every place
That's why he put me in this race
It's up to me
To secure victory
Sun up, sun down
Pretty soon I'll be lying on the ground
Sweaty palms, throat's dry
And my number's stuck to my thigh
Eight laps, gonna be a pain
But that's just part of the game
And everybody's on the grind
But me I'm running out of time
On the starting line
It's a waterfall start on this frigid cold day
Driving to a meet, 4 hours away
But the race doesn't start without delay
And everybody's on the grind
But me, I've run out of time
On the starting line
On your marks
Set
Go
