The Alchemy

This happens once every few lifetimes

These chemicals hit me like white wine

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

So when I touch town

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?

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

So when I touch town

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?

These blokes warm the benches

We've 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?

Shirt's off, and your friends lift you up over their heads

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

"There was no chance trying to be the greatest in the league"

Where's the trophy?

He just comes running over to me

Touchdown

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?

These blokes warm the benches

We've 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?
