Perfection's Just Delay

[Intro] (Upbeat synth melody with clapping rhythm) [Verse 1] Step onto the field, heartbeats in my ears, Every move’s a battle, drowning in my fears. Told myself “no errors,” gotta hit that high score, But the weight of “perfect” just slammed the door! [Pre-Chorus] Tripped on the finish line, scraped up my pride, But the crowd’s still screaming, “You’re alive, you’re alive!” Mistakes are the fire that light up the game, Perfect’s just a word—let’s rewrite the name! [Chorus] We’re perfectly imperfect, breaking every chain, Dropping the crown to dance in the rain! Trophies in the mud, scars shining bright, Champions rise when they embrace the f***t! Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, throw the rulebook away! Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, perfection’s just delay! [Verse 2] Sweat stains on my jersey, a crack in my swing, Missed the final shot but still got wings. The scoreboard’s lying—it’s the grit that counts, Every fall’s a lesson, every doubt we surmount! [Pre-Chorus] Gold medals rust, but courage won’t fade, The ghosts of “almost” don’t make the grade. We’re lightning and thunder, flawed but so real, The magic’s in the mess—let’s c***h and heal! [Chorus] We’re perfectly imperfect, breaking every chain, Dropping the crown to dance in the rain! Trophies in the mud, scars shining bright, Champions rise when they embrace the f***t! Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, throw the rulebook away! Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, perfection’s just delay! [Bridge] (Whispers) *“Breathe in, let go…”* Shattered glass reflections still glow! The world needs your stumbles, your raw, wild heart, Perfect’s just a shadow—you’re the art, you’re the art! [Chorus] We’re perfectly imperfect, breaking every chain, Dropping the crown to dance in the rain! Trophies in the mud, scars shining bright, Champions rise when they embrace the f***t! Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, throw the rulebook away! Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, perfection’s just delay! [Outro] (Energetic fade-out with crowd cheers and a final drum flourish)
