Borderline Anthem

[Intro]

We were raised on headlines

Hand-me-down shoes

Dead-end towns

Fists in our pockets

Fire in our mouths

[Verse 1]

Mom said "keep your head down"

Dad said "clock in

Fade out"

I drew maps in the margins

To get gone

To get loud

[Pre-Chorus]

Every "no" just fed the hunger

Every doubt just turned to thunder

Do you feel it?

Do you feel it now? (hey!)

[Chorus]

This is our borderline anthem

Screaming from the back of the bus

From the last to the first ones

They gonna hear about us

Turn the heartbreak into a banner

Turn the static into a shout

This is our borderline anthem

'Til the whole world sings it out

[Verse 2]

Cheap stage

Three broken speakers

Twelve kids

Two believers

Still we played like it mattered

Like the world might crack open tonight

[Pre-Chorus]

Every scar became a story

Every stumble turned to glory

Do you feel it?

Do you feel it now? (woah)

[Chorus]

This is our borderline anthem

This is our borderline anthem

Screaming from the back of the bus

From the last to the first ones

They gonna hear about us

Turn the heartbreak into a banner

Turn the static into a shout

This is our borderline anthem

'Til the whole world sings it out

[Bridge]

Hands up

For the almost-quitters

For the lost beginners

For the late-bloom winners (oh yeah)

Hands up

For the ones off-key

Still singing like they’re finally free

[Chorus]

This is our borderline anthem

Screaming from the back of the bus

From the last to the first ones

They gonna hear about us

Turn the heartbreak into a banner

Turn the static into a shout

This is our borderline anthem

'Til the whole world

Sings it out

Sings it loud
