ooo oo ooo hey ooo oo ooo [Pre-Chorus] [softly, with an edge] I'm done living in their chains Done playing a part I didn't write Every eye a jury in this place Underneath the spotlight's glare, so bright I don't need their help to breathe 'Cause the way you made me feel so small… Is the fuel that's underneath it all [Chorus] [Full voice, soaring and anthemic] Glory days! Glory days! Are happening tonight! Catch a look, catch a vibe Yeah, I'm the one who's in the drive Break a heel, I don't mind Leaving all the past behind Feel alive, not just fine, yeah This new world is mine to design! [Post-Chorus] [Rhythmic, punchy delivery over a stripped-back beat] That old rush is done, uh-huh That old kiss undone, ooh-ooh, ooh That old kiss undone, ooh-ooh, ooh That old kiss undone, oh-oh, oh [Verse 1] Heard a lot of noise, they're all the same Screaming 'bout some victory lap, some stupid game Tried to throw me in a box that didn't fit While you were sleeping on the promises you quit Yeah, we walked away with nothing but the radio on… [Pre-Chorus] [Building intensity] I'm done living in their chains! Done playing a part I didn't write! Every eye a jury in this place Underneath the spotlight's glare, so bright! I don't need their help to breathe! 'Cause the way you made me feel so small… Is the fuel that's underneath it all! Yeah! [Chorus] [Even bigger, with ad-libs and harmonies] Glory days! Glory days! Are happening tonight! Catch a look, catch a vibe Yeah, I'm the one who's in the drive! Break a heel, I don't mind Leaving all the past behind! Feel alive, not just fine, yeah This new world is mine to design! [Post-Chorus] [Rhythmic, confident] That old rush is done, uh-huh That old kiss undone, ooh-ooh, ooh That old kiss undone, ooh-ooh, ooh That old kiss undone, oh-oh, oh [Bridge] They wanted a chase, a race to the sun Thought I was lost when I'd only begun Now I'm not asking for "liberate" I'm the one rewriting my own fate Not a half-soul waiting for your call to feel whole Yeah, the static's fading, I'm in control! [Breakdown / Climax] [Music drops to just a pulsing synth and vocal layers building] [Whispered] That old kiss undone… [Louder] That old kiss undone… [Shouted] That old kiss undone! (Beat crashes back in, massive and explosive) HEY! You-oo-oo! HEY! You-oo-oo! [Outro-Chorus] [Ad-libbing over the main chorus melody] MY GLORY DAYS! RIGHT NOW! TONIGHT! (Catch a look, catch a vibe) YEAH! I'M IN THE DRIVE! (Break a heel, I don't mind) LEAVING IT ALL BEHIND! (Feel alive, not just fine, yeah) THIS NEW WORLD IS MINE! [Music fades out with the echo of "mine... mine... mine..."]
