LYRICS - ALIVE EP
01 Did You Know
I could see it would not end well
But it felt so right I let it hurt like hell
And I could see it was all a game
But I played along so I should take some blame
But did you know that I was not myself?
And did you know that I was someone else?
And did you know that underneath this skin
There’s a girl still waiting here to let you in
And once I walked away I realised
It was a different side of me I left behind
Which means you never really knew the real me
But it’s too late to wonder now if it was meant to be
And did you know that after all this time
Despite the hurting you’re still on my mind
And did you know that underneath this skin
There’s a girl you never knew that’s here to start again
My ears, well they deceive me
My eyes, they don’t believe me
My hands, they hardly read me
My words, they don’t come easy
And though I might seem crazy
To hope you still think of me
It’s ‘cause I know deep inside
You belong by my side
And did you know that underneath this skin
I’m here to let you in
And though I might seem crazy
To hope you still think of me
It’s ‘cause I know deep inside
You belong by my side
And though I might seem crazy
To hope you still think of me
It’s ‘cause I know deep inside
You belong by my side
02 Alive
Grew up in a small town but learning how to dream big
I was looking for a way out ‘cause there’s something greater than this
I found myself dreaming of a place where the streets don’t have an end
And I was in a stalemate, I could only paint grey pictures
Only friend was heartache, and I was left with no direction
I keep on looking for that place where the streets don’t have an end
And is it wrong that I like waking up to the sound of sirens?
This crazy town is alive and in the dark the lights are calling
These busy lives are on fire but nothing stops, nothing’s ending
And I feel alive, I feel alive
I feel alive, I feel alive
This city’s full of life and I can sense something in the air
I’ve gotta learn to start the fire, ‘cause there’s an opportunity somewhere
And I walk with my guitar down the streets that have no end
And is it wrong that I like waking up to the sound of sirens?
This crazy town is alive and in the dark the lights are calling
These busy lives are on fire but nothing stops, nothing’s ending
And I feel alive, I feel alive
I feel alive, I feel alive
Now this is home, I walk through these streets and I feel like I belong
And in my mind, I capture this scene so I know my dream’s not wrong
But is it wrong that I like waking up to the sound of sirens?
This crazy town is alive and in the dark the lights are calling
These busy lives are on fire but nothing stops, nothing’s ending
And I feel alive, I feel alive
And is it wrong that I like waking up to the sound of sirens?
This crazy town is alive and in the dark the lights are calling
These busy lives are on fire but nothing stops, nothing’s ending
And I feel alive, I feel alive
And is it wrong that I like waking up to the sound of sirens?
This crazy town is alive and in the dark the lights are calling
These busy lives are on fire but nothing stops, nothing’s ending
And I feel alive, I feel alive
I feel alive, I feel alive
03 The Other Side
Skinny jeans, summer tee, the big shades, and my converse on
And we’re walking down Pier 39
Rent a car, take a drive, sunroof down, the wind in our hair
And the taste of Californian wine
Music on, sharing smiles, interstate’s like an endless road
On our journey down the bright West Coast
Through LA, San Jose, ‘cisco Bay, wherever we go
There’s one thing we know
That life is far too short to just be dreaming
To sit and watch the hours ticking by
So let’s get up and run to the place with golden sun
On the other side
Ocean wide, valley side, mountains high, under pale blue sky
And guitars play all their jazz blues vibes
Let’s seize the day, Napa train, drink champagne, like life’s a game
That we love to play
‘Cause we know it’s too short to just be dreaming
To sit and watch the hours ticking by
So let’s get up and run to the place with golden sun
On the other side
Oh and you can leave if you want to
It won’t beg you to stay
But there’s an innocence there that surrounds you
And takes your freedom away
Skinny jeans, summer tee, the big shades, and my converse on
And I feel like I’m at home here
Rent a car, take a drive, sunroof down, the wind in our hair
Words escape me, but the silence fits in
04 From The Start
I know you’re broken, and I’m fragile too
So maybe together we’ll get through
And I know you’re up and down, and I’m temperamental too
And sentimental over you
And it’s alright to say that we were lonely
It’s alright to say that we were lost
And I don’t mind if you know
That my feelings grow
When I’m lying there in your arms
So if you fall, I will fall too
And I’ll land first so I can catch you
I’ll pick you up and mend your broken heart
‘Cause I’ve loved you right from the start
You’re reaching for the stars, and I’m after the moon
So maybe this journey’s right for two
And you built your wall up high, and my back’s against the world too
So there’s a lot that we could do
And it’s alright to say we’re feeling fearless
It’s alright to say that we’re not scared
And it’s alright to embrace this unstoppable pace
Even if they say we’re unprepared
So if you fall, I will fall too
And I’ll land first so I can catch you
I’ll pick you up and mend your broken heart
Coz I’ve loved you right from the start
And it’s ok to say that I’m not lonely
That I was lost but now I’m found
And I don’t mind if you see that my life’s complete
Now that I’ve got you around
So if I fall, you will jump too
And you’ll be there to be my rescue
You picked me up and saved my broken heart
And I’ve loved you right from the start
So if you fall, I will fall too
And I’ll land first so I can catch you
I’ll pick you up and mend your broken heart
Coz I’ve loved you right from the start
I’ve loved you right from the start
Oh, I’ve loved you right from the start
You’re reaching for the stars, and I’m after the moon
So maybe this journey’s right for two
And you built your wall up high, and my back’s against the world too
So there’s a lot that we could do
And it’s alright to say we’re feeling fearless
It’s alright to say that we’re not scared
And it’s alright to embrace this unstoppable pace
Even if they say we’re unprepared
So if you fall, I will fall too
And I’ll land first so I can catch you
I’ll pick you up and mend your broken heart
‘Cause I’ve loved you right from the start
And it’s ok to say that I’m not lonely
That I was lost but now I’m found
And I don’t mind if you see that my life’s complete
Now that I’ve got you around
So if I fall, you will jump too
And you’ll be there to be my rescue
You picked me up and saved my broken heart
And I’ve loved you right from the start
So if you fall, I will fall too
And I’ll land first so I can catch you
I’ll pick you up and mend your broken heart
‘Cause I’ve loved you right from the start
I’ve loved you right from the start
Oh, I’ve loved you right from the start
05 Games
He said “what do your words mean?”
I told him and he said “well, that’s sweet”
Then he tucked my hair behind my ears
He played games with his eyes and
He did tricks with his smile and
I know he just wants to humour me
But I, I keep on falling for it
And I, I let my heart enjoy it
And I, I can’t hide behind naivety
When I know that I know how it changes me
Walking behind me one step away
To see if I’d turn around and say
“Oh won’t you come catch up with me?”
And waiting just around the corner
To see if I’d come running towards ya
Playing the games you think you need
But I, I know you’ve never had to be alone
And I, I know your mind still has so much to learn
So I, I think it’s time I started acting true
‘Cause I’ve been humouring you too
Drinking wine and talking all night long
My stupid mouth got it so wrong
Got no filter in my head
So I’m never speaking my mind
If that’s not what you’ve come here to find
Don’t wanna think of it again
My stupid mouth got it so wrong
And sorry is the least you could do, when it keeps coming back to you
