[Verse 1]
Everybody’s coping, we’re comfort chasing creatures
Everybody’s hoping to take a path that’s easier

[Pre-Chorus]
Afraid of disappointment, nervous and avoidant
Terrified to make mistakes
Paranoid and careful, trading our potential
Just to find a safer space

[Chorus]
Legends aren’t born in the sunshine

No one learns to swim from the shorelin
otta break down ’til you break through
When it doesn’t get better, that’s when you do
Don’t know who you are ’til it’s war time
Don’t know how to live ’til you flatlin
otta break down ’til you break through
When it doesn’t get better, that’s when you do

[Verse 2]
Everybody’s nervous, addicted to their status quo
Scared to get discouraged
It’s comfortable when things don’t crow

[Pre-Chorus]
Afraid of disappointment, nervous and avoidant
Killing who they could become
Paranoid and careful, selling all that’s special
For another hit of numb

[Chorus]
Legends aren’t born in the sunshine
No one learns to swim from the shorelin
otta break down ’til you break through
When it doesn’t get better, that’s when you do
Don’t know who you are ’til it’s war time

Don’t know how to live ’til you flatlin
otta break down ’til you break through
When it doesn’t get better, that’s when you do

[Bridge]
Resistance makes life rewarding
Good times just make you more boring
Low time will write you a story
Keep running from rain if you don’t wanna change
Blue skies sometimes are a warning
From mountains to climbs you’re ignoring
Trials are made for transforming
Keep running from rain if you don’t wanna change

[Chorus]
Legends aren’t born in the sunshine
No one learns to swim from the shorelin
otta break down ’til you break through
When it doesn’t get better, that’s when you do
Don’t know who you are ’til it’s war time
Don’t know how to live ’til you flatlin
otta break down ’til you break through
When it doesn’t get better, that’s when you do
