Lyric

In the locker room mirror, two faces I know

One is mine, one is the girl that I go

Head to head with every workout, every time I turn

Our eyes meet and something burns

She don't smile, I don't either

There's a code between believers

That the strongest only find each other

When they're chasing toward the other

I pushed five hundred pounds last week

She pushed five-oh-five, no cheek

Just facts, just time, just the climb

We're the same song in different time

Rival, I know you by your pace

Rival, I see it in your face

Rival, you're the only one who knows

What it costs to never let it go

We crossed paths at regionals

Same bracket, same protocol

Final match, two bodies at war

But our eyes said something more

You won by a point, I tasted the floor

But I'll see you next season for sure

Neither of us walks away

Neither of us looks back to say

Rival, I know you by your pace

Rival, I see it in your face

Rival, you're the only one who knows

What it costs to never let it go

Someday one of us will break

But not today, not on this date

I'll keep reaching for your name
