[Verse 1] Brackets locked and loaded, every future drawn in chalk Nine seed in the corner, just a name that never talked Walked into the building where they cheered for someone else Coach came from the basement with a fire no one felt [Pre-Chorus] Thirty-nine years since these walls remembered how to shake Watch what happens when the ones they buried stay awake [Chorus] Not on the board, not in your plans We're the ghost that wouldn't die Burning through the tournament Like a comet through the sky Not on the board - still alive [Verse 2] Dropped the champs on a prayer that kissed the rim goodnight Gym went dark for half a second then it lit the Milky Way A kid who rode the Greyhound from a school without a name A coach who climbed four levels just to set the world aflame [Pre-Chorus] Every line they drew was chalk and every chalk line breaks When the ones they left for dead decide to stay awake [Chorus] Not on the board, not in your plans We're the ghost that wouldn't die Burning through the tournament Like a comet through the sky Not on the board - still alive [Bridge] Maybe midnight's at the door Maybe fairy tales don't last But the only ones who counted us out Are the ones still doing math [Final Chorus] Not on the board, NOT IN YOUR PLANS We're the story they can't write Tearing through the madness now Like a fire through the night Not on the board - hear us now! Not on the board - STILL ALIVE! [Outro] (gang vocals) Still alive! Still alive! Not on the board - still alive!
