[Intro]

Yeah

[Verse 1]

You'd win if you loved yourself more

Who cares if the shoe fits?

Opinions are not yours

Shoe prints aren't the blueprints

Just hold on for dear life

Dear life in a diary

You change you for others

You'll scribble out colours of life entirely

Note to myself, you do write the rulebook

You can't rely on the safety of others

You should be better, that's okay, we all should

All exposed like sun in the summers

Wanting to chill out or wanting to live more

Travelling cities or tryna be indoors

Drown in addiction is not my advice

But you're at the wheel if you wanna drink more

Sing more, laugh more, whatever you asked for

Whether you're in or you're outside the car door

Watching the telly or murdering dance floors

Don't have panic whenever you're unsure

World's more fucked than it's possibly ever been

It's not just you, man, the world's unsettling

I wish it was different, it's not, but fuck it

We blame ourself, then I promise we'll never win

Life online is a world unlived

A life offline is the perfect gift

A life in fear is a gunpoint robbery

Gotta be something that's better than this

[Pre-Chorus]

Nobody's better at living than you

As long as the life that you're living is true

What if I said "No, that's my life"?

But what if it's said? What if I say you?

[Chorus]

You should run away sometimes, you know

That's just a part of being young, dumb, searching for fun

So close your eyes and feel alive, it's fine

You're only gonna be alive one ride

And you should tell 'em no sometimes, you know

That's not just when we're feeling old, no, you're in control

Just close your eyes and feel alive, it's fine

You're only gonna be alive one ride

[Verse 2]

You'd laugh if you saw your own film

Don't hate whilst you act it

All good to feel like it's uphill

Just carefree's the tactic

One day, we'll all see the highlights

Don't have yours jealous of others

Don't have highlights stood on the sidelines

Spend it with brothers or sisters or mothers

Or under the covers with part-time lovers

Tripping on something, inspecting the colours

Running or laughing at middle-aged runners

Or nothing, just having a drink in the summers

Or nothing at all or something that's cool

That one weird hobby, you've had it since school

Don't spend it on phones, you're lucky it calls

Go kick ball if you wanna kick ball

If not, then calm, love whatever you are

Love whatever you want, love whatever you aren't

You're you, that's cool, that's different, that's hard

Then celebrate life, don't celebrate stars

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause nobody's better at living than you

Long as the life that you're living is true

What if I said "No, that's my life"?

But what if it's said? What if I say you?

[Chorus]

You should run away sometimes, you know

That's just a part of being young, dumb, searching for fun

So close your eyes and feel alive, it's fine

You're only gonna be alive one ride

And you should tell 'em no sometimes, you know

That's not just when we're feeling old, no, you're in control

Just close your eyes and feel alive, it's fine

You're only gonna be alive one ride
