Saw you on the fifty-yard line A queen in borough life Painting on a victory smile Holding on so tight They see the moves of perfect form The legacy you hold I see the cracks under the calm A story to be told You move just like a hurricane Contained inside a frame And I just want to know the girl Behind the family name Every ache is a question mark Every cheer another shot in the dark We're caught between the spirit and the static on the screen You're living out somebody else's faded teenage dream And maybe I'm just watching from the sidelines of your world But I see the constellation when your flag becomes unfurled Yeah, I see you, I really do Past the gold and green I trace your moves on my guitar The rhythm of your doubt The mixtape in your beat-up car Is trying to drown it out From Taurus to the Clovers, yeah The colors start to bleed You're trying to plant a different flower From a stolen seed And in the quiet of your room When all the glitter's gone I hope you hear a different tune And know you're not alone Every beat's a brand new chance to start Every fall can rebuild a broken heart We're caught between the spirit and the static on the screen You're living out somebody else's faded teenage dream And maybe I'm just watching from the sidelines of your world But I see the constellation when your flag becomes unfurled Yeah, I see you, I really do Past the gold and green Nationals will come and go The trophies turn to dust There's a fire in your soul That's the only thing to trust Let it all fall down And just for a night Past the gold and green I see you Yeah, I see you
