[Verse 1]
Black boots
Scuffed floor
Backstage
One door
Little list of every time they said I'd never score
Deep breath
Red light
Crowd noise
Cold mic
Thumb on the tape where I wrote “I don’t hide”
Heart racing faster than the kick drum count
All of these doubts get drowned out now
If I fall flat, yeah, I fall flat loud
Either way
They’ll know my name in this crowd
[Chorus]
This is my stage dive heartbeat
Hands up if you feel me
I’m still here when the lights hit
Can’t kill what was built from the misfits
This is my stage dive heartbeat
Sing off-key but it sets me free
I’m too loud for your small town dream
I break rules when I breathe
[Verse 2]
Middle finger feelings
Painted on my jean seams
Sharpie on my wrist reads
“Turn panic into big screams”
Snare hits
Side-eye
I see my ex on the right side
Said I wouldn’t make it past last July
So I rap every scar like a set list
Spit every “too much” that they called weakness
Pop hooks with a punk in the middle
Pretty face, razor blade in the syllables
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you hear that rush in your rib cage?
Do you feel that shout in your own name?
All the kids in the back of the class
Now we’re crowd surfing over the past
[Chorus]
This is my stage dive heartbeat
Hands up if you feel me
I’m still here when the lights hit
Can’t kill what was built from the misfits
This is my stage dive heartbeat
Sing off-key but it sets me free
I’m too loud for your small town dream
I break rules when I breathe
[Bridge]
Tattooed truth on a torn wristband
Every “sit down” turned to a battle plan
If they ever try to cut my
