📝 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Nineteen summers in a fireproof skin,
whole world leaning when the lights go thin.
Rain on the painted line, thunder in the stands,
future tries to shake the wheel out of your hands.

[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody loves the rocket when it rises,
nobody hears the small voice count the cost.
You learn to breathe between the siren noises,
find the road again before the lead is lost.

[Chorus]
Third light burning, don't look down,
three times first through a hurricane town.
Young blood, old ghosts, pressure on the crown,
third light burning and you hold your ground.

[Verse 2]
They say luck wears silver when the cameras bloom,
but luck don't wrestle fear in a carbon room.
Luck don't feel the tires when the edges slide,
luck don't keep a brave face through a thirty-lap tide.

[Pre-Chorus]
Every straightaway is shorter than the rumor,
every corner asks what kind of nerve you own.
You pass the doubt, then the doubt gets newer,
still you bring the trembling machine back home.

[Chorus]
Third light burning, don't look down,
three times first through a hurricane town.
Young blood, old ghosts, pressure on the crown,
third light burning and you hold your ground.

[Bridge]
Not a crown yet, not a throne,
just a kid with a storm in his bones.
Not forever, not a myth,
just the next breath, the next shift.

[Final Chorus]
Third light burning, hear that sound,
heart like an engine refusing to drown.
If the whole sky spins, if the walls come round,
third light burning and you hold your ground.

[Outro]
Green goes quiet after the roar,
and you are more than what you score.
