Alive (feat. Cristy Alover)

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
