[Intro] Countdown on the screen, ten fingers on the key Engines waking up beneath, breathing fire into me [Verse 1] Steel on the pad, pointed at the sky Fuel in the tanks, the ground says goodbye Every wire humming, every light is green Loudest silence I have ever seen [Build] Ten, nine, eight — the tower falls away Seven, six, five — nothing left to say Four, three, two — hold on to the sound One — [Drop] We're lifting off, lifting off, tearing through the blue Gravity was never gonna hold me down from you Lifting off, lifting off, flame beneath our feet Watch the whole world shrink until it's small enough to keep [Verse 2] Max-Q shaking, stage one letting go Blue turns black, the stars start to show Weightless in the window, Earth a curve of light Every failure fueling this into flight [Bridge] They said it'd never leave the ground Now the ground can't even hear the sound [Build] Ten, nine, eight — hold on to the sound One — [Drop] Lifting off, lifting off, burning past the line Orbit in our hands and every second's mine Lifting off, lifting off, nothing left to fear Look down, we're already here [Outro] Engines cut… and we're floating now [End]
