[Verse 1]
Classroom desk
covered in doodles of heroes
Cape on the chair
but my eyes on the floor
Scrollin’ through clips
of a world that feels bigger
Power up scenes
while my heart keeps laggin’ behind
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m scared I’m the sidekick
in my own story
Background kid
in a crowded frame
Staring at the screen like
“Teach me glory”
Teach me how to jump
through the flame (hey)
[Chorus]
I wanna go plus ultra with a cracked-up heart
Tears in my eyes
but I’ll still restart
Turn my scars to a shining quirk
Make this pain
my secret work of art
I wanna scream like an opening theme
Run through the dark
in a neon dream
If I fall
play the chorus again
’Til I rise like a hero
out of the end
[Verse 2]
Midnight texts
“Are you up?” on the timeline
Sad little jokes
only half in jest
Profile pic smiles
but the captions are landmines
Trying on masks
’cause my hope needs a vest
[Pre-Chorus]
But you hit me with a “hey
you okay lately?”
Typed-out fear
then I pressed erase
You said “we’re the main cast
don’t you play B-plot”
And it felt like a spotlight
on my face (woah)
[Chorus]
I wanna go plus ultra with a cracked-up heart
Tears in my eyes
but I’ll still restart
Turn my scars to a shining quirk
Make this pain
my secret work of art
I wanna scream like an opening theme
Run through the dark
in a neon dream
If I fall
play the chorus again
’Til I rise like a hero
out of the end
[Bridge]
If my will breaks
will you sing my name
Like an ending song
over rolling names
Hand on my fist
say “one more try”
We can rewrite fate
line by line
[Chorus]
We’re gonna go plus ultra with our cracked-up hearts
Tears in our eyes
but we still restart
Turn these scars to a shining quirk
Make this pain
our secret work of art
We’re gonna scream like an opening theme
Run through the dark
in a shared dream
If we fall
play the chorus again
’Cause together we’re heroes
here at the end (yeah)
