Ignite The Starting Line (version 2)

Verse

Laces double-knotted, chalk line drawn

Gun in the rafters, waiting on the dawn

Locker door slams like a starter's beat

Every heartbeat stacking under my feet

Floodlights flicker, track still wet

Nothing about tonight I'll forget

Coach's whistle fades to a hum

This is the count where the real race begins

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it building in your chest

Every muscle screaming, don't you rest

So plant your feet, let the smoke clear wide

We were built to run into the light

Chorus

Ignite the starting line

Feet up, hands up, we're alive tonight

Every gun shot turns to fireflies

Ignite the starting line, we fly

Sparks under our shoes

Nothing left to lose

Ignite the starting line, hold tight

We're not stopping, we're alive

Verse

Stopwatch cracked but the pulse stays true

Neon paint on my collarbone too

Strangers turn to teammates fast

Every shadow chasing the past

Stadium roaring, the crowd stands tall

Nobody here's afraid to fall

Bass drum matching my second wind

This is the mile where the night begins

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it building in your chest

Every muscle screaming, don't you rest

So plant your feet, let the smoke clear wide

We were built to run into the light

Chorus

Ignite the starting line

Feet up, hands up, we're alive tonight

Every gun shot turns to fireflies

Ignite the starting line, we fly

Sparks under our shoes

Nothing left to lose

Ignite the starting line, hold tight

We're not stopping, we're alive

Bridge

No finish tape, no clock to chase

Just this moment, just this place

Hands up high like we own the sky

Tonight we run and never ask why

Chorus

Ignite the starting line

Feet up, hands up, we're alive tonight

Every gun shot turns to fireflies

Ignite the starting line, we fly

Sparks under our shoes

Nothing left to lose

Ignite the starting line, hold tight

We're not stopping, we're alive
