Story Behind The Song
Freeze frame the image on kid's faces when they start a game of musical chairs, everyone thinks they will be the one to win the game. All but one are wrong!
Song Description
This song takes the youthful confidence bordering on arrogance and celebrates how certain and eventually wrong the central person in the song is. We all are walking, waiting for the music to stop, and wouldn't have it any other way.

Lyrics
take a look at me now
i'm walking round and round
smiling face, no worries and no doubts
music's playing on it won't be long
i've got this whole thing figured out
it's all fun and games until the final shoe drops
then I'm gonna walk, walk,walk,walk
until the music stops
remember when we were young
we partied all night long,
we thought we knew
what we were talking about
they said we needed a plan
we just laughed and grinned
we had the whole thing figured out
it was fun and games until the final shoe dropped
then we walked walk, walk,walk,walked
until the music stopped
Cuz When the music stops,
you have seconds to spare
it's just a mad, mad dash to find a chair
it's just a game someone showed ya
don't pretend like they never toldya
Nothing's guaranteed, nothings owed ya
I guess that's something
Ya momma shoulda toldya
Take a look at me now,
i'm hanging with my doubts
it's all over cept the screams and shouts
the music that played is gone
time has moved on and
I've got this whole thing to figure out
It was fun and games
until the final shoe dropped
I'm gonna walk util the music stops
Yeah, all fun and games but now
the final shoe has dropped
I'm gonna walk, walk,walk,walk
until the music stops
I'm gonna walk, walk,walk,walk
until the music stops
