Lyrics
[Verse 1] Air tastes like metal Smoke in my teeth Hands still trembling Seatbelt crease on my chest Headlights crooked in the ditch Someone’s shouting my name My own voice answers A cracked Surprised laugh [Chorus] After the crash I’m still here Bruised but breathing Shaking but clear If this is all I have I’ll stake it again Call it hope as defiance I get up and try again [Verse 2] Phone screen shattered Numbers in shards One good sneaker In the stranger’s yard Sirens coming from forever Red clouds on my skin I count to ten To twenty Then I stand up again [Chorus] After the crash I’m still here Bruised but breathing Shaking but clear If this is all I have I’ll stake it again Call it hope as defiance I get up and try again [Bridge] Maybe I was built To break and still bend back Teeth full of gravel Heart full of new plans (oh) Every scar a stubborn map That points me past the end [Chorus] After the crash I’m still here Bruised but breathing Shaking but clear If this is all I have I’ll stake it again Call it hope as defiance I get up and try again Yeah Call it hope as defiance Watch me rise and try again
