[Verse 1]
Scar on my knee from the year I fell
Box of old trophies on a high shelf
Tickets I saved from the nights I lost
All of my ghosts in a pile of dust
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been the almost
I’ve been the if
Staring at ceilings
Afraid to risk
But I feel a tremor
Right under my feet
Something is waking
Inside of me (yeah)
[Chorus]
This is the anthem of my comeback
Every bruise
Every breath
I take it all back
I was down on the floor
Now I’m breaking the glass
Hear my name in the roar from the back of the stands
This is the anthem of my comeback
Sing it loud
Sing it loud
‘til the sky cracks
I’m not who I was
I’m the one who laughs last
This is the anthem of my comeback
[Verse 2]
Friends on the rail with their arms held high
Phone lights up like a starry sky
Mom in the crowd with the tear-streaked face
Dad in the silence
Finally proud of this place
[Pre-Chorus]
All of the doubters
Fade into smoke
Every “you’ll never”
Turns into hope
Feel the ground shaking
Right under my feet
Tonight I’m the thunder
You came to see (hey!)
[Chorus]
This is the anthem of my comeback
Every bruise
Every breath
I take it all back
I was down on the floor
Now I’m breaking the glass
Hear my name in the roar from the back of the stands
This is the anthem of my comeback
Sing it loud
Sing it loud
‘til the sky cracks
I’m not who I was
I’m the one who laughs last
This is the anthem of my comeback
[Bridge]
Hands up
Hearts up
Say my name like a promise kept
Once more
One more
I’m not done
I’m not finished yet
Hands up
Hearts up
For the days that we almost quit
Right now
Right here
Every fear
I’m burning it (woah)
[Chorus]
This is the anthem of my comeback
Every bruise
Every breath
I take it all back
I was down on the floor
Now I’m breaking the glass
Hear my name in the roar from the back of the stands
This is the anthem of my comeback
Sing it loud
Sing it loud
‘til the sky cracks
I’m not who I was
I’m the one who laughs last
This is the anthem of my—
[Chorus]
—comeback
This is my comeback
Voices crash
Drums crash
Feel the walls shake
From the front to the back
Let the sound wave
Carry every last doubt far away
Far away
This is the anthem of our comeback
Every heart
Every scar
Yeah we own that
We are not who we were
We are more than the past
This is the anthem of our comeback (our comeback)
