[Verse 1] The buzzer hits and the ceiling shakes Strangers screaming, strangers crying Fifty years just left this building And nobody remembers how to breathe [Pre-Chorus] Something's breaking and it's beautiful Something ancient coming loose [Chorus] Never been here before Don't know the way but I don't care Never been here before And the whole damn place is in the air Every losing season screaming Every ghost that kept believing We've never been here before And we're never leaving [Verse 2] Grandpa pressed his hands together Every January whispered "this year" Daddy drove us down by twenty Squeezed my shoulder — "don't you fear" [Pre-Chorus] Well their wall just shattered open And I swear their hands are on me [Chorus] Never been here before Don't know the way but I don't care Never been here before And the whole damn place is in the air Every losing season screaming Every ghost that kept believing We've never been here before And we're never leaving [Bridge] Wish you could have heard this sound, grandpa Fifty years of "next year" finally came around The kid they laughed at for the jersey He's crying now — but 'cause he's proud [Final Chorus] Never been here before! Don't know the way but I don't care! Never been here before! And the whole damn place is in the air Every father, every daughter Every prayer across the water We've never been here before [gang vocals] And we're never leaving! We're never leaving! [Outro] Never been here before...
