[Intro]
Hands up
Phones high
Let it burn
In your eyes
[Verse 1]
I came from the back row seats
Late train, cold air on my teeth
Mama said "dream but eat"
Now they chant my name on repeat (woah)
Sweat drips, I can taste that fear
Stage fog in my throat, so near
Every little scar I wear
Glows like gold when you all cheer
[Chorus]
We lightin' up like sky lanterns
All those heavy days, now they’re airborne
If you came here hurt, let it go now
Let it go now, let it go now (yeah)
Sing it back, my broken choir
Turn the pain into something higher
Every cracked-up heart in this room tonight
Is a sky lantern in the dark sky
[Verse 2]
You wave that flag from the pit
Same hometown, I remember it
You cried to my old misfit track
Now you're screaming every word back (every word)
I see my past in your face
All that doubt, all that blame, all that rain
But the moment that the drums hit place
We ain’t ever going back, no way
[Chorus]
We lightin' up like sky lanterns
All those heavy days, now they’re airborne
If you came here hurt, let it go now
Let it go now, let it go now (hey)
Sing it back, my broken choir
Turn the pain into something higher
Every cracked-up heart in this room tonight
Is a sky lantern in the dark sky
[Bridge]
[Beat drops out, crowd clapping]
If you ever felt small, this one’s for you
If you ever felt lost, look around the room
Every voice that you hear is your proof
You were never, ever, ever that alone
[Chorus]
We lightin' up like sky lanterns
All those heavy days, now they’re airborne
If you came here hurt, let it go now
Let it go now, let it go now
Sing it back, my broken choir
Turn the pain into something higher
Every cracked-up heart in this room tonight
Is a sky lantern in the dark sky (one more time)
[Chorus]
We lightin' up like sky lanterns
All those heavy days, now they’re airborne
If you came here hurt, let it go now
Let it go now, let it go now (woah)
Sing it back, my broken choir
Turn the pain into something higher
Every cracked-up heart in this room tonight
Is a sky lantern in the dark sky
