The Alchemy Lyrics

This happens once every few lifetimes
These chemicals hit me like a 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 down
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 down
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?

Shirts off and your friends lift you up over their heads
Beer sticking to the floor,
Cheers chanted ’cause they said
There was no chance tryna be the greatest in the league
Where’s the trophy?
He just comes running over to me

Touch down
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?

This happens once every few lifetimes
These chemicals hit me like a white wine
