lyrics

"Kickball"

I have been fighting my mind as long as I can recall
It makes me choose a side like a sick game of kickball
Suddenly I realize I’ve been here before
Maybe worry is like looking for the key to an unlocked door

But when I’m home I fall to the floor
Close the curtains open my mouth and soar
In the dark where I hide my heart
But secretly I’m a superstar

Underneath the thundering, the deafening roar
Lies a small persistent wondering: “What are you waiting for?”
I have everything to be afraid of
But bravery requires fear to stand in the face of
Bravery, bravery, I got bravery, I got, I got
Bravery, bravery, I got bravery

I’ll raise my torch until I believe
Hold it high for everybody to see
Me and my little dreams
Just a spark in the galaxy

And maybe I’m a child that’s afraid of the dark
Or the hero I’ve been waiting for
Maybe I’m too broken and fallen too far
But maybe I’m a superstar

'Cause underneath the thundering, the deafening roar
Lies a small persistent wondering: “What are you waiting for”
I have everything to be afraid of
But bravery requires fear to stand in the face of
Bravery, bravery, I got bravery, I got, I got
Bravery, bravery, I got bravery

Bravery, bravery, I got bravery, I got, I got
Bravery, bravery, I got bravery
(If you try, you won’t die)
