[Verse 1] Twenty-seventh on a list that nobody reads Minor league motels and hand-me-down cleats Six years of swinging at air in the cage Burning a hole through the bottom of the page [Pre-Chorus] They couldn't pick me from a lineup if they tried But I've been building thunder on the quiet side [Chorus] Who saw me coming? Nobody Who called my name? Not a soul Who bet on the kid at the bottom of the page? Nobody, nobody - now watch me go [Verse 2] First one cracks the sky like a starting gun Second one screams so loud the gods look down They'll say it happened fast but I waited years for this I carried a ghost's name and gave it back with interest [Pre-Chorus] Every door that closed just loaded up the spring Watch what happens when the invisible kid swings [Chorus] Who saw me coming? Nobody Who called my name? Not a soul Who bet on the kid at the bottom of the page? Nobody, nobody - now watch me go [Bridge] I felt every no leave my body with the swing Every scout who passed, every phone that didn't ring Standing in the roar and I can't believe my ears The silence of six years dissolving into tears [Final Chorus] Who sees me now? EVERYBODY Who knows my name? Every soul Who wrote me off at the bottom of the page? I burned right through it - watch me go Watch me go! [Outro] Bottom of the page Top of the world
