Lyrics
[Verse 1] You chalked a line beside the painted jaguar I took the bowl too fast and clipped the rim Manny called, “again,” from by the quarter Like falling was a language we could learn [Pre-Chorus] We traded scuffed-up boards and little warnings Counted every try, not just the clean ones [Chorus] We keep pushing past the painted edge One more run, one more turn to get it right When i land, your hands are up already When you bail, i’m there to call you back in line Under murals bright as summer signs We make a place for every bold attempt We keep pushing past the painted edge And nobody rides alone [Verse 2] A dragon curled around the steel handrail Blue flames climbed the wall behind the stairs Keisha found the nerve to clear the gap there I held my breath; she laughed and took the air [Pre-Chorus] No one kept a score of who was better Only who stayed close when someone slipped [Chorus] We keep pushing past the painted edge One more run, one more turn to get it right When i land, your hands are up already When you bail, i’m there to call you back in line Under murals bright as summer signs We make a place for every bold attempt We keep pushing past the painted edge And nobody rides alone [Bridge] Now the park lights catch the fresh blue paint And the last bus rolls beyond the fence We swap our boards, we trade the safest route Then take one more shot before we leave [Final chorus] We keep pushing past the painted edge One more run, one more turn to get it right When i land, your hands are up already When you bail, i’m there to call you back in line Under murals bright as summer signs We make a place for every bold attempt We keep pushing past the painted edge And nobody rides alone [Outro] Nobody rides alone One more run, together
