[Verse 1]
It’s a brand new day, it's never too late to start
Can't live this life with an empty heart

[Pre-Chorus]
Every single time that we lay it on the line
It’s a roller coaster ride for one
When we know it’s do or die and we’re running out of time
We've gotta give it all we’ve got

[Chorus]
I want something more, a life worth fighting for
I don't need a reason to set the world on fire
And burn a little bit brighter now
There's something beautiful hiding in the shadows
So set the world on fire
Let's burn a little bit brighter now

[Verse 2]
Sometimes we gotta risk it all to chase a dream
It's a dive in headfirst, all or nothing kind of thing

[Pre-Chorus]
Every single time that we lay it on the line
It’s a roller coaster ride for one
When we know it’s do or die and we’re running out of time
We've gotta give it all we’ve got

[Chorus]
I want something more, a life worth fighting for
I don't need a reason to set the world on fire
And burn a little bit brighter now
There's something beautiful hiding in the shadows
So set the world on fire
Let's burn a little bit brighter now

[Bridge]
Can't stand by and wait like the others
I'm front line and won't run for cover
Head held high ‘cause I'm burning brighter

[Chorus]
I want something more, a life worth fighting for
I don't need a reason to set the world on fire
And burn a little bit brighter now
There's something beautiful hiding in the shadows
So set the world on fire
Let's burn a little bit brighter now

[Outro]
It’s a brand new day, it's never too late to start

Against the Current is a Pop-Rock band from Poughkeepsie, New York, that formed in 2011. It consists of lead singer Chrissy Costanza, guitarist/backing vocalist Dan Gow, and drummer Will Ferri.

Initally, they began as a cover band, gaining popularity on YouTube. They set to release a debut EP, Infinity and an acoustic EP containing the same songs. After its unexpected success, the band applied the same formula; they released their EP Gravity and they followed it with an acoustic session with the same songs.

Against the Current’s sound fell more on the pop side of the spectrum when they were signed to Fueled By Ramen in 2015 and released their debut full album In Our Bones.
