Lyrics : Phoenix
Have you ever felt so good you-
You're bursting out of your skin?
And no matter what you do, you-
You know you're gonna win?
Have you ever felt so broken
You thought you'd never rise
But the day that you stand up, you, you start to realize
Second chances don't come 'round each day
You've gotta grab them by the horns
You've got to say
This time I will be stronger
This time I last longer
This time I won't waste a day
Watch me, I'll go out fighting
Winning or dying trying
Watch me, I'll rise from the flames
I just don't want you to go crazy trying to keep this all together
Oh, I'm fine. I'm a phoenix, Cairo. Maybe you should try thinking like that too
Have you ever felt so hopeful
You're bursting at the seams
And the world is filled with rainbows
And all your brightest dreams?
If you're gonna have a mental breakdown
Girl, this is not the place
Everybody's watching you now
And every move you make
Lucky girls get fresh starts, here we are
Ready for a brand new chance to bandage up the scars
Why should I be weighed down?
Why should I live in the past?
Ever since the playground
This is all I've ever asked
All lies have an expiration date
I'll be there when they give in to fate
'Cause everywhere I look
I'm surrounded by a person I don't recognize
Aching, breaking, falling
Waiting for something to stabilize
Faces in the pictures on the walls
Seem like they're still the same
But hear the gossip in the halls
And know they're whispering your name
Breathe, but you're choking
Like there's something burning up the air
You can't unhear the sounds
You pray to God and wonder if he's there
Everyone's a stranger
Now there's nowhere I can go
They try to say
Say we're okay
How we're okay now I say
You don't even know
This time, nothing gets by me
This time, nothing this time
This time no one can fight me
This time
I am in control
I am, I am, I am
So high, I'm in the air now
Just try, it's truth or dare now
This time, I go for the gold
This time, my story gets told
You're bursting out of your skin?
And no matter what you do, you-
You know you're gonna win?
Have you ever felt so broken
You thought you'd never rise
But the day that you stand up, you, you start to realize
Second chances don't come 'round each day
You've gotta grab them by the horns
You've got to say
This time I will be stronger
This time I last longer
This time I won't waste a day
Watch me, I'll go out fighting
Winning or dying trying
Watch me, I'll rise from the flames
I just don't want you to go crazy trying to keep this all together
Oh, I'm fine. I'm a phoenix, Cairo. Maybe you should try thinking like that too
Have you ever felt so hopeful
You're bursting at the seams
And the world is filled with rainbows
And all your brightest dreams?
If you're gonna have a mental breakdown
Girl, this is not the place
Everybody's watching you now
And every move you make
Lucky girls get fresh starts, here we are
Ready for a brand new chance to bandage up the scars
Why should I be weighed down?
Why should I live in the past?
Ever since the playground
This is all I've ever asked
All lies have an expiration date
I'll be there when they give in to fate
'Cause everywhere I look
I'm surrounded by a person I don't recognize
