Alive
Every time I think I understand where I am
I end up comfortable & overlook the city at a glance
I'm missing out & falling down, don't know how to stick around
Just hole up with my pen & strings; omit the world & all it brings
Like I'm running in a dream, you see
The ground is over me
Trees are fake, green is weak
I can't compete if I'm asleep
I see myself in history
Writing words & paving streets
It's the time without the crime
But I need some life, I need to breathe
I'm in my head all too much
Thinking about what I could've done
On my day to day I make mistakes & I wait for things to take their place
But I'm young & cute, what I should I do is get over my fears & see it through
Cracks are glued
I'll open doors
If I'm alive I should open, too
Take it easy, girl
And take it slow
Learn to live with what you love & know
Take it easy, girl
And take your time
Though you're barely breathing, girl, you're still alive
They say, "Kid, listen, you got your whole life"
But if that's right I should be out & unafraid of bad wolves & big breaks
It's like when I wake I'd rather sleep
Then I see the possibilities
In reality I catch my sleeve on monsters' collars chasing me
I need some clarity, need my guitar in arm
I probably need some help, too, but I never ask
I give my heart
I'm the one with the answers to everyone's but my own
It's cliché, I know
A rant, a gloat
But if I don't speak my mind I'm broke
I'm lost in a tangent
Can I run like a lion
I'm trying, like Judy, I'm a newbie in the courthouse
Give it to me
All the judges with their gavels
Attorneys tryna hurt
How can I learn from the best if what I get is chains
I blame me
I'm a mess
I think of others, never myself
Wear a mask to save my health, like Clark, I'm scared if I take it off
I won't get back the love I lost
I hope that no one's hearing this
It's Sheeran that is steering this
Wheels on the road, they take me home
But where can I go if I'm unknown
Take it easy, girl
And take it slow
Learn to live with what you love & know
Take it easy, girl
And take your time
Though you're barely breathing, girl, you're still alive
Take it easy, girl
And take it slow
Learn to live with what you love & know
Take it easy, girl
And take your time
Though you're barely breathing, girl, you're still alive
I'm too hard on me, like woah
Bad reviews on all my shows
The best is all I got, but it's not the best that gets me grown
It's the people that I know & I know I can't do this alone
I don't want to go solo, no Juliet for Romeo
I'm a lover
I'm a writer
I'm the front-seat fucking driver
I'm a Lamborghini in the shop
Want you to see me, what I've got
But I'm stuck inside, paralyzed
Scared to run through tunnels at night
Bats come out, bears around
If I stay inside I'm safe & sound
So listen, kid, I've got some time
I just need a win
And maybe my pride
Will I do it in my own or seek someone who knows what's right
I'm a stone but I'm not broken
I'm a token
I'm alive
Take it easy, girl
And take it slow
Learn to live with what you love & know
Take it easy, girl
And take your time
Though you're barely breathing, girl, you're still alive
Take it easy, girl
And take it slow
Learn to live with what you love & know
Take it easy, girl
And take your time
Though you're barely breathing, girl, you're still alive
I end up comfortable & overlook the city at a glance
I'm missing out & falling down, don't know how to stick around
