Lyrics

[Intro]

This happens once every few lifetimes

These chemicals hit me like white wine

[Verse 1]

What if I told you I'm back?

The hospital was a drag

Worst sleep that I ever had

I circled you on a map

I haven't come around in so long

But I'm coming back so strong

[Chorus]

So when I

Touch down, call the amateurs and cut 'em from the team

Ditch the clowns, get the crown, baby, I'm the one to beat

'Cause the sign on your heart said it's still reserved for me

Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?

[Verse 2]

Hey, you

What if I told you we're cool?

That child's play back in school is forgiven under my rule

I haven't come around in so long

But I'm making a comeback to where I belong

[Chorus]

So when I

Touch down, call the amateurs and cut 'em from the team

Ditch the clowns, get the crown, baby, I'm the one to beat

'Cause the sign on your heart said it's still reserved for me

Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?

[Chorus]

These blokes warm the benches, we been on a winning streak

He jokes that it's heroin but this time with an "E"

'Cause the sign on your heart said it's still reserved for me

Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?

[Bridge]

Shirts off, and your friends lift you up over their heads

Beer sticking to the floor, cheers chanted 'cause they said

There was no chance, tryna be the greatest in the league

Where's the trophy?

He just comes running over to me

[Chorus]

Touch down, call the amateurs and cut 'em from the team

Ditch the clowns, get the crown, baby, I'm the one to beat

'Cause the sign on your heart said it's still reserved for me

Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?

[Chorus]

These blokes warm the benches, we been on a winning streak

He jokes that it's heroin but this time with an "E"

'Cause the sign on your heart said it's still reserved for me

Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?

[Outro]

This happens once every few lifetimes

These chemicals hit me like white wine
