Phoenix

Lyrics

[RILEY] Have you ever felt so good you- You're bursting out of your skin? And no matter what you do, you- You know you're gonna win? Have you ever felt so broken You thought you'd never rise But the day that you stand up, you, you start to realize Second chances don't come 'round each day You've gotta grab them by the horns You've got to say This time I will be stronger This time I last longer This time I won't waste a day Watch me, I'll go out fighting Winning or dying trying Watch me, I'll rise from the flames [CAIRO, spoken] I just don't want you to go crazy trying to keep this all together [RILEY, spoken] Oh, I'm fine. I'm a phoenix, Cairo. Maybe you should try thinking like that too [sung] Have you ever felt so hopeful You're bursting at the seams And the world is filled with rainbows And all your brightest dreams? [CAIRO] If you're gonna have a mental breakdown Girl, this is not the place Everybody's watching you now And every move you make [RILEY] Lucky girls get fresh starts, here we are [RILEY, CAIRO] Ready for a brand new chance to bandage up the scars [ANNLEIGH] Why should I be weighed down? Why should I live in the past? [REESE] Ever since the playground This is all I've ever asked [KATE] All lies have an expiration date I'll be there when they give in to fate [ANNLEIGH, REESE, KATE, RILEY, CAIRO] 'Cause everywhere I look I'm surrounded by a person I don't recognize Aching, breaking, falling Waiting for something to stabilize Faces in the pictures on the walls Seem like they're still the same But hear the gossip in the halls And know they're whispering your name [KATE, ANNLEIGH] Breathe, but you're choking Like there's something burning up the air [REESE] You can't unhear the sounds [ANNLEIGH] You pray to God and wonder if he's there [CAIRO, RILEY] Everyone's a stranger Now there's nowhere I can go [KATE, REESE, ANNLEIGH] They try to say [CAIRO, RILEY] Say we're okay [KATE, REESE, ANNLEIGH] How we're okay now I say [CAIRO, RILEY, KATE, REESE, ANNLEIGH] You don't even know [CAIRO, RILEY, REESE, ANNLEIGH] This time, nothing gets by me [KATE] This time, nothing this time [CAIRO, RILEY, KATE, REESE, ANNLEIGH] This time no one can fight me This time [KATE, ANNLEIGH] I am in control [CAIRO, RILEY, REESE, ANNLEIGH] I am, I am, I am [CAIRO, RILEY, KATE, REESE, ANNLEIGH] So high, I'm in the air now Just try, it's truth or dare now This time, I go for the gold This time, my story gets told
