LYRICS
[Verse 1]
I wake up to the feeling that I’m running out of time,
Trying to hold on, but the pressure starts to climb.
I look back at the moments when I almost gave it all,
But I stand up, keep on fighting every time I fall.
You show up like a fire, lighting shadows on my wall,
Telling me to breathe in, let go, answer when you call.
We work out all the chaos that keeps dragging me below,
And when I start to break down, you say, “Babe, just take it slow.”
[Pre-Chorus]
We push through the darkness when the world is getting loud,
We turn up the heartbeat, never blending with the crowd.
If life tries to shut us out, we’ll rise above the noise,
We figure out the future, yeah, we still have a choice.
[Chorus]
So we turn around,
We shake off the fear and hit the ground.
We light up the night,
We hold out our hearts and make it right.
We break out
From every chain that held us down.
We carry on, yeah babe, together we’ll be strong.
We turn around — This is our fight, our rhythm, our sound.
[Verse 2]
I check in with my heart, it’s beating louder than before,
Trying not to give in to the storms outside the door.
We reach out, never letting all the memories fade away,
Refusing to back down, no matter what they say.
We call out the truth, we won’t let the world pretend,
We cut off the voices saying dreams will never mend.
We set out on a journey where the broken learn to heal,
And when the doubts creep in, babe, you show me what is real.
[Bridge]
When the lights go out,
We look up, never drowning in the doubt.
We run into the fire, we step up, fueled by something higher.
We move on, we get through,
We show off the scars that prove we grew.
We calm down, we slow down,
But babe, we never break up, we never break down.
