Shock to My System

It's like getting close to the sun
I wanna tell you things
I just can't get air in my lungs long enough to explain
See I was born awake
Little by little I simply fell asleep
Then you came, it all changed

You were right, I was half alive
You were a shock to my system
Tearing up my quiet life

Now it's hard to watch your back move away from me just like that
In an instant all is gone, all is wrong
I'm caught in the red but I'm fading to grey
A constant reminder that nothing stays the same
But nothing ever really changes

You were right, I was half alive
You were a shock to my system
Tearing up my quiet life
I felt safe walking straight lines
You were a shock to my system
Lighting up a fire so bright

Now there's no turning back for me

I met you in the corner of the day
You said I was beautiful
But only when I'm lost

And you were right, I was half alive
You were a shock to my system
Tearing up my quiet life
I felt safe walking straight lines
You were a shock to my system
Lighting up a fire so bright

Now there's no turning back for me
