Glide

[Intro – Mountain ambience, distant wind, filtered beat fading in] Yeah… Way up. Nothing behind me now. Here we go. [Beat drops] [Verse 1] Top of the mountain, lookin’ down Whole world waiting at the bottom now They said slow up, better know my place But I came here just to win this race Cold wind cutting, but I’m locked in One more run, let the whole thing begin Everybody chasing what I already see That number one looking good on me [Pre-Chorus] No looking back No second guess I came too far To settle for less Pressure fades when I pick up speed Nothing left but the air I breathe [Chorus] I just gli-i-i-ide Like the whole world’s moving aside All my problems falling behind Nothing but the finish in my sight I just gli-i-i-ide Got the mountain under my feet tonight They can chase, but I’m feeling alive I’m already gone— I just glide [Instrumental – Driving breakbeat, bass, guitar hook] [Verse 2] Cut that corner, throw the weight downhill Everybody wants it, but I want it still Ice on the edge, fire in my chest When they give me pressure, I give ’em my best No fear living in the rearview now All that noise getting quieter somehow Every hard day brought me up this high Now the only way left is across that line [Pre-Chorus] No looking back No second guess I came too far To settle for less Pressure fades when I pick up speed Nothing left but the air I breathe [Chorus] I just gli-i-i-ide Like the whole world’s moving aside All my problems falling behind Nothing but the finish in my sight I just gli-i-i-ide Got the mountain under my feet tonight They can chase, but I’m feeling alive I’m already gone— I just glide [Build – Drums accelerating, rising bass, crowd ambience far below] Faster now Higher now Nothing gonna pull me down Faster now Higher now Number one—I’m coming now! [HANG TIME – Beat suddenly disappears] [Filtered distant vocal] Gli-i-i-i-i-ide… [Wind rush] [Airy reverb] [Heavily filtered bass pulse] [Music becomes weightless and distant] All those worries… Way down there. And I’m up here. [LANDING IMPACT] [Full beat slams back in] [Final Chorus – Bigger, triumphant] I just GLI-I-I-IDE! Like the whole world’s moving aside All my problems falling behind Nothing but the finish in my sight I just GLI-I-I-IDE! Got the mountain under my feet tonight They can chase, but I’m feeling alive I’m already gone— I just glide! [Post-Chorus] Number one Here I come All that weight behind me Number one Run is done Nothing left can find me [Outro – Beat gradually filters away] I don’t gotta run from yesterday I left it somewhere on the way Now the finish line is all I see… [Filtered vocal echo] Glide… Glide… Gli-i-i-ide… [Cold mountain wind] [Fade out]
