[Intro] I wake up with a list of things I might get wrong Count every little warning till the morning’s gone [Verse 1] I got a dream folded deep in my jacket Never pull it out, somebody might crack it Every door looks tall, every room feels crowded I rehearse my failure till the fear gets loudest Everybody’s got a verdict in their pocket I can hear the clock, I can feel it knocking Call me not that smart, call me overreacting Still I keep one small spark from collapsing [Pre-Chorus] If I wait for courage, I’ll be waiting forever So I tie my doubt to a fraying tether One step, two steps, heart like a warning alarm I’m terrified, but I’m moving my arms [Chorus] Scared of the final boss Scared of the price, scared of the loss Sue me if you think this is not a big thing I’m not that smart, but I’m still sprinting Scared of the final boss Hands go cold when the screen goes dark Everybody says, “You’ll be fine, just start” I press that button with a shaking heart [Verse 2] I’m afraid of the phone, afraid of the silence Afraid my best idea won’t survive the violence Of a world that loves a clean explanation While I’m built from doubt and improvisation Every face feels like a classroom test Every breath says I should do my best But my best has a pulse and a crooked direction I’m learning fear is not a rejection [Pre-Chorus] If I wait for courage, I’ll be waiting forever So I tie my doubt to a fraying tether One step, two steps, heart like a warning alarm I’m terrified, but I’m moving my arms [Chorus] Scared of the final boss Scared of the price, scared of the loss Sue me if you think this is not a big thing I’m not that smart, but I’m still sprinting Scared of the final boss Hands go cold when the screen goes dark Everybody says, “You’ll be fine, just start” I press that button with a shaking heart [Bridge] Maybe brave is a word people use after Maybe strength is a laugh in the middle of disaster Maybe I don’t need a map or a sign Maybe scared and alive can exist at the same time [Final Chorus] Scared of the final boss Scared, but I’m done counting every cost Sue me if you think this is not a big thing I’m not that smart, but I’m still singing Scared of the final boss Let the whole room watch me make my mark Everybody’s here, and the screen goes dark I press that button with a shaking heart [Outro] I’m scared of everything, maybe that’s true But I’m taking the dream with me too
