[Verse 1]
Game on
Controller in my hand
Heart racing
Old posters on my wall still fading
From the days I dreamed in bright arcade lights
Same kid
Sneakers on the wire
Still chasing
Practice in the mirror
Hands shaking
Now I see that future in my eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Every little loss turned into a lesson
Every late night turned into a weapon
I was leveling in silence
Quiet grind
Now the countdown’s on
It’s my time
[Chorus]
Level up
Level up (hey!)
Watch my trophy gold shine in the sun
From the bottom of the start screen
Now I run
New high score
I’m the only one
Level up
Level up
Every scar on my heart came from love
Turn the pressure into power in my blood
See me rising
I’m the chosen one
[Verse 2]
Flashback
CD in the player
Track skipping
Cheap headphones
Daydreams dripping
Wrote my name in ink across my desk
Throwback
Baggy little jacket
Big vision
Nobody believed this ambition
Now they’re saving every word I said
[Pre-Chorus]
Every little “no” turned into a fire
Every old doubt buried even higher
I was training in the shadows
Quiet flame
Now the crowd’s on hold
Call my name
[Chorus]
Level up
Level up (oh yeah)
Watch my trophy gold shine in the sun
From the bottom of the start screen
Now I run
New high score
I’m the only one
Level up
Level up
Every scar on my heart came from love
Turn the pressure into power in my blood
See me rising
I’m the chosen one
[Bridge]
[Drums filter down
Vocal up]
Countdown
3-2-1
I won’t back down
Right here
Right now
I claim this ground (hey!)
If I fall
Then I fall forward
Still pushing toward the border
Past the limit
Past the line
This is my sign
[Chorus]
Level up
Level up
Watch my trophy gold shine in the sun
From the bottom of the start screen
Now I run
New high score
I’m the only one
Level up
Level up (woah)
Every scar on my heart came from love
Turn the pressure into power in my blood
See me rising
I’m the chosen one
Level up
Level up
See me rising
I’m the chosen one
