Still Here (ON STAGE! Encore Theme)

[Intro] [Verse — Orson] I've told a hundred stories about who I am Changed the ending every time I knew someone was listening Learned that truth was just a thing that got you used So I built a version of myself that never needed rescuing But here I am — still standing in the wings Still pretending that I'm fine with everything And some nights I don't know which parts are real But I show up anyway — that has to count for something [Verse 2 — Emmet] I've been running since before I knew what I was chasing Hands shaking every time I think I'm almost good enough My father's voice is in the back of everything I'm building And I don't know how to want something and not be terrified But here I am — still learning every step Still falling short and getting up and not quitting yet Some days the gap between where I am and where I want to be Feels like the whole room ...yet I stay [Chorus] We're still here Not because we figured it all out Still here Not because we stopped having doubt We just kept going on the days it didn't make sense Kept showing up with everything we had left And maybe that's enough Maybe that's the whole thing — Still here Still trying Still standing in it [Verse 3 — Ryuu] I've spent a long time being useful to people who forgot me Learned to fill the silence with whatever the room needed Doesn't mean I didn't feel it when they moved on Just means I found another room and made myself worth keeping But here I am — still showing up for this Still don't know exactly where I fit But something in the work — something in the noise — Feels close enough to home that I'm not leaving [Verse 4 — Tasso] I made a promise to someone I love And I've been carrying it quietly for long enough That some days I forget what I wanted before the weight And some days that's fine — some days it isn't But here I am — still calling, still sending every bow Still believing she'll be in a seat someday somehow The distance between where she is and where I need to be Is the reason I don't stop It's the reason I won't stop [Chorus] We're still here Not because we figured it all out Still here Not because we stopped having doubt We just kept going on the days it didn't make sense Kept showing up with everything we had left And maybe that's enough Maybe that's the whole thing — Still here Still trying Still standing in it [Bridge] Whatever you're carrying tonight Whatever you've been pretending is fine Whatever version of yourself you built to get through — It got you here And here is something You don't have to have it together You don't have to be finished You just have to still be in it That's all any of us are doing [Final Chorus] Still here Not because the hard part's done Still here Still figuring out who we've become We kept going on the days it didn't make sense Showed up with whatever we had left And that's enough That's the whole thing — Still here Still trying [Outro]
