[Verse 1] Halfway is the hinge where the whole thing turns Behind me every step is a bridge that burns Gravity's been patient but it's losing its grip Four k down, and I'm starting to slip — upward [Chorus] Escape velocity — I can feel the pull go slack Escape velocity — no such thing as turning back The heaviest part of any flight Is the first half fighting for the sky Now I'm through it — now I fly [Verse 2] Eleven point two kilometres per second Is what it takes to never come down I'll settle for the moment the effort goes quiet And the road starts moving and I'm standing my ground [Chorus] Escape velocity — I can feel the pull go slack Escape velocity — no such thing as turning back [Bridge - building] Higher — past the doubt line Higher — past the burn Higher — thin air, clean light Nothing left to earn
