[Verse 1] We made it safely through the final cross So raise a glass to what they said was wrong We proved them mismatched, and we made our song. [Chorus] Oh, look at us now, we drew the winning hand When all our castles were built on sinking sand They said the hill was far too steep to climb But we arrived exactly right on time It turned out perfect, standard and complete A bittersweet victory, so unexpectedly sweet. Verse 2)The crowd was silent, betting on our fallWe stood alone against a rising wallNo magic tricks, no aces up our sleeveJust holding on to what we could achieveAnd piece by piece, the picture came to lightAn unshaped dream becoming clear and bright. (Chorus)Oh, look at us now, we drew the winning handWhen all our castles were built on sinking sandThey said the hill was far too steep to climbBut we arrived exactly right on timeIt turned out perfect, standard and completeA bittersweet victory, so unexpectedly sweet. (Verse 3) Sometimes the quiet ones are hard to beatWe walked right through the rain and found the streetWhere gold was waiting in the pouring rainA sudden joy that washed away the painI never thought we’d make it past the door But now we’re standing on the highest floor. Bridge / Stick) They wrote the rules to keep us in the shade Counting the errors that we never made But every doubt just fueled the inner fireLifting the melody a little higher Against the odds, we broke the heavy chain And turned the losses into golden gain .(Verse 4 )The lights are fading, music’s turning low The final curtain calls us to the showA perfect end to what was deemed a lossWe made it safely through the final cross So raise a glass to what they said was wrongWe proved them mismatched, and we made our song. (Chorus) Oh, look at us now, we drew the winning hand When all our castles were built on sinking sand They said the hill was far too steep to climb But we arrived exactly right on timeIt turned out perfect, standard and complete A bittersweet victory, so unexpectedly sweet. [Outro] Yeah, it turned out perfect... Against the odds... Look at us now.
