(Verse 1 - The Clean Slate) Step double time through the uniform lines Leaving the whispers and rumors behind You map out the world like a tactical grid But you can't calculate what the melody did A freshman commander with a weight on his vest But the rhythm is beating right out of his chest (Verse 2 - Ashton's Pop Hype Intro) (Yeah, uh-huh, flip the track, let’s go) He’s stepping up tight, no time for the games He’s breaking the locks and he’s changing the names Got the green light shining, we're clearing the zone Baby, baby, look how the target has grown! (Shawty, watch him move, let’s get it!) (Verse 3 - The Midnight Drill) Running the course when the shadows are long Turning the boots to the beat of a song You think that you’re hidden in tactical gear But your laugh is the one thing that's totally clear A code in the dark that I easily read Following exactly where the cadence has led (Verse 4 - The Switchup) You hold all the rules like a shield in your hand Trying to organize the shifts in the sand But people change tracks when the winter rolls near And the clearest of signals can suddenly veer We’re rewriting the books that we used to obey Throwing the old strategies completely away (Verse 5 - The Chorus) Maybe tomorrow We’ll cross the perimeter line Leave all the warnings and borders behind And find a new way to hope Maybe tomorrow The radar will pick up the true Showing the pieces of me and of you Saying it’s gonna get better (Verse 6 - Ashton's Bieber Bridge) (Oh, whoa, baby, listen close) No more coordinates lost in the haze We’re launching the countdown to brighter of days Lock up the secrets inside of the vault The rhythm is heavy, it’s nobody’s fault Yeah, we’re charting a brand new frontier tonight! (Verse 7 - The Front Lines) Daniel said combat, but music’s the shield The ultimate weapon we bring to the field You don’t need a rank just to lead the parade When the finest memories are the ones that we made Standing our ground while the background is loud Two distinct voices outperforming the crowd (Verse 8 - The 4-Year Accord) Four years of a friendship that defied every chart An unwritten contract we signed from the start You might miss a syllable here or right there But you recognize the music we put in the air A bond that’s survived every camp-buddy phase Surviving the chaos and navigating the maze (Verse 9 - The Final Deployment) I know tomorrow The tactical layout is clear We won’t look back at a single old fear Because we’re completely out of the dark I know tomorrow The remix is global and true The baseline is matching the footsteps of you And it’s only getting better Yeah, tomorrow, tomorrow [Spoken Outro - The Final Clearance] Hey Simon? Next Tuesday at school, don't pretend you didn't hear this streaming. Ash fixed the labels, Celia mixed the track, and the military time is 100% locked in. See you at 1700 hours tonight, buddy. Real time. Five PM sharp at the park. Over and out! ───
