[Verse 1]
Alarm goes off
I hit it twice
Mascara smear
But I look alive
Old fears stacked
Like laundry piles
Kick ‘em aside
I’m stepping outside
[Pre-Chorus]
Sky still pink
But my heart’s on high
Got a past full of cracks
But it let the light inside
[Chorus]
I’m gonna rise up
Loud as the morning
Turn every scar into something golden
Sun on my face
Yeah I’m breaking through
I’m sunburned and bulletproof
Hands in the air
I’m done with the mourning
Laughing so hard I can’t hear the warnings
Day after day
I’ll be something new
I’m sunburned and bulletproof (oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
Bike chain squeaks
As I race the breeze
Singing off-key
To my victories
Old doubts call
But I let ‘em ring
I’ve got sweat on my brow
And a cheap plastic ring
[Pre-Chorus]
Every bruise
Every bad goodbye
Just a spark
Just a match
For the fire in my eyes
[Chorus]
I’m gonna rise up
Loud as the morning
Turn every scar into something golden
Sun on my face
Yeah I’m breaking through
I’m sunburned and bulletproof
Hands in the air
I’m done with the mourning
Laughing so hard I can’t hear the warnings
Day after day
I’ll be something new
I’m sunburned and bulletproof (hey!)
[Bridge]
Shout it from the rooftop
Bare feet on the hot top
We’ve been down enough
Now we’re burning up
If the world tries to drag us
We’ll run ‘til it can’t catch us
Every “can’t” that they threw
Yeah
We turned it into fuel
[Chorus]
We’re gonna rise up
Loud as the morning
Turn every scar into something golden
Sun on our face
Yeah we’re breaking through
We’re sunburned and bulletproof
Hands in the air
This is our warning
We’re the new anthem of every morning
Day after day
We’ll be something new
We’re sunburned and bulletproof (oh-oh)
Yeah
Sunburned and bulletproof
