Lyrics
[Intro – Soft, emotive, minimal instrumentation]
I’m in the thick of it… everybody knows…
They know me where it snows… I skied in, and they froze…
I don’t know nothin’ ’bout no ice… I’m just cold…
Forty-somethin’ million subs, or so I’ve been told…
[Verse 1 – Smooth, soulful delivery]
I’m in my prime… but this ain’t even the final form…
They knocked me down… still my feet, they find the floor…
From living rooms… straight up to sold-out tours…
Life’s a fight… but trust… I’m ready for the war…
[Pre-Chorus – Build with emotion]
Whoa-oh-oh… this is how the story goes…
Whoa-oh-oh… I guess this is how the story goes…
[Chorus – Warm, flowing, soulful]
I’m in the thick of it… everybody knows…
They know me where it snows… I skied in, and they froze…
I don’t know nothin’ ’bout no ice… I’m just cold…
Forty-somethin’ million subs, or so I’ve been told…
Whoa-oh-oh… this is how the story goes…
Whoa-oh-oh… story goes… story goes…
[Verse 2 – Slow, expressive, add slight vocal runs]
From the screen… to the ring… to the pen… to the king…
Where’s my crown? That’s my bling…
Always drama when I ring…
But I believe if I see it in my heart…
I can smash through ceilings… I’m reachin’ for the stars…
[Bridge – Emotional, vulnerable]
Highway to heaven… I’m just cruisin’ by my lone…
They cast me out… left me for dead… them people cold…
My faith in God… mind in the sun… I’m by the soul…
Life is hard… I took the wheel… I cracked the code…
Ain’t nobody gon’ save you… life can break you…
But I’m still standin’, I’m still reachin’…
[Final Chorus – Strong, heartfelt]
I’m in the thick of it… everybody knows…
They know me where it snows… I skied in, and they froze…
I don’t know nothin’ ’bout no ice… I’m just cold…
Forty-somethin’ million subs, or so I’ve been told…
Whoa-oh-oh… this is how the story goes…
Whoa-oh-oh… story goes… story goes…
[Outro – Soft, fading, soulful]
I’m in the thick of it… everybody knows…
They know me where it snows… I skied in, and they froze…
I don’t know nothin’ ’bout no ice… I’m just cold…
Forty-somethin’ million subs, or so I’ve been told…
I’m in the thick of it… everybody knows…
They know me where it snows… I skied in, and they froze…
I don’t know nothin’ ’bout no ice… I’m just cold…
Forty-somethin’ million subs, or so I’ve been told…
