(Verse 1) They say we’re just a moment, a temporary phase A couple of kids just getting lost inside a maze They pull out the numbers, and they show me the math Saying nobody stays on the freshman path But they don’t see the way you cross the room to find me They don’t know the history we’re writing down silently You looked at the options; you didn't play it safe You locked in the answer that shifted my whole space. (Chorus) They call it a long shot, a shadow of doubt, Just two percent ever figure it out. They don't know the secrets we keep in the hall, Or how your eyes shine as you lean by the wall The data won't measure the fire we spent, So, tell me, what if we’re the two percent? (Verse 2) You picked up a pencil just to copy my style Showing me your notebook with a nervous little smile And my hands look so small when they’re sitting next to yours But the tension is rising behind these closed doors My friends are all watching, they're pulling the strings While my heart is just flying on imaginary wings We're playing it cool while the crowd gives a cheer But I know the truth now, it's becoming so clear. (Chorus) They call it a long shot, a shadow of doubt Just two percent ever figure it out. They don't know the secrets we keep in the hall, Or how your eyes shine as you lean by the wall. The data won't measure the fire we spent So, tell me, what if we’re the two percent? (Bridge) Throwing on your sunglasses, trying to act smooth Running from the butterflies, waiting on a move They say at fourteen it’s a beautiful dream But we’re a better match than they’ve ever seen. (Chorus) They call it a long shot, a shadow of doubt, Just two percent ever figure it out. They don't know the secrets we keep in the hall, Or how your eyes shine as you lean by the wall. The data won't measure the fire we spent, So, tell me, what if we’re the two percent? (Outro) Yeah, look at the spark, look at our lore Tomorrow morning, I'll see you once more Forget all the data, let's see where it went... Yeah, you and me, we’re the two percent.
