Lyrics
[Intro]
Mm
Mm-hmm
Oh
[Verse 1]
They counted every slip and stumble
Marked me down before I spoke
The room was full of folded arms
And I was just a quiet joke
I caught the light from half a window
Wore my doubts like borrowed clothes
But something in me kept on humming
Soft and low and no one knows
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the floor began to tilt
And I found my balance there
Where the odds had stacked against me
I found the air
[Chorus]
Unlikeliest you said
Unlikeliest again
But I was never here to fit
Your little frame of where I've been
Unlikeliest you said
Unlikeliest and still
I'm the one who's standing now
With nothing left to fill
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Standing now
Standing now
[Verse 2]
They handed me the smallest stage
Two steps short of a spotlight
I took the edge and made it home
Turned the shadow into flight
I memorized the quiet corners
Where the loud ones never look
And every no became a maybe
Every page became a book
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the floor began to tilt
And I found my balance there
Where the odds had stacked against me
I found the air
[Chorus]
Unlikeliest you said
Unlikeliest again
But I was never here to fit
Your little frame of where I've been
Unlikeliest you said
Unlikeliest and still
I'm the one who's standing now
With nothing left to fill
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Standing now
Standing now
[Bridge]
Call me the long shot
Call me the last name called
Call me the crack in the ceiling
Where the light comes crawling
(Come crawling)
Call me the slow burn
Call me the second guess
Call me the wild card
Turned in on purpose
(On purpose)
[Breakdown]
Mm
Oh-oh-oh
I wasn't made to make it easy
I wasn't made to stay in line
I wasn't made to beg forgiveness
For taking up my time
[Chorus]
Unlikeliest you said
Unlikeliest again
But I was never here to fit
Your little frame of where I've been
Unlikeliest you said
Unlikeliest and still
I'm the one who's standing now
With nothing left to fill
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Standing now
Standing now
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
[Outro]
Mm
Mm-hmm
Standing
