[Intro]
Shadows on our phones
Names in the glow
You say, "They wrote this ending"
I say, "Rip up the show"
[Verse 1]
You talk about fate like a landlord
Changing all the locks on our hearts
Letters in the sky, pre-written goodbyes
Same script, different parts
You say, "We're just lines in a ledger
Every joy gets paid with pain"
I say, "Let the debt collector knock
We don't answer that name"
They drew chalk circles around us
Said, "Stand here, never step out"
But you kissed me on the border
Lip shaking, eyes full of doubt
Family voices in your headphones
Telling you which life to choose
I press pause on the volume of ghosts
Say, "Baby, why you wanna lose?"
[Chorus]
We keep fighting what they wrote
Ink on fire, burning notes
If the stars already chose
We black them out, we black them out
Hands tied up in every thread
Pulled apart by what they said
If destiny demands we drown
We drag it down, we drag it down
[Verse 2]
They send you numbers, warnings
Dreams you’re supposed to obey
Fortune cookies, dated prophecies
Same sermon, every day
Your mom keeps praying my name out
Like a curse she can’t unlearn
My friends say, "You’re the wrong one"
But my wrong’s the right I earned
We’re the glitch in their pattern
Two errors that learned how to speak
Every plan they stack like bricks
We turn that prison into a bridge
Yeah, the clock keeps ticking like a threat
But time is just a bad landlord too
We break the lease on every lifetime
As long as I break it with you
[Chorus]
We keep fighting what they wrote
Ink on fire, burning notes
If the stars already chose
We black them out, we black them out
Hands tied up in every thread
Pulled apart by what they said
If destiny demands we drown
We drag it down, we drag it down
[Bridge]
If this was always doomed
Why does it feel this true?
If they already closed the room
How'd I still walk to you?
Maybe the future’s listening
Waiting to see what we do
So I breathe loud in the silence
"I choose you, I choose you" (yeah)
[Chorus]
We keep fighting what they wrote
Ink on fire, burning notes
If the stars already chose
We black them out, we black them out
Hands tied up in every thread
Pulled apart by what they said
If destiny demands we drown
We drag it down, we drag it down
