Our Time Down Here - Alive Like Me

You’re growing up too fast they said

But I don’t want to live my life like them

And I just want to think about tonight

Because the past is my ghost

Let’s meet up in a shady part of town

Where they don’t want to see us lose

Our crowns because we’re kings to them

Well I don’t think we’re kings of anything

(No I don’t think we’re kings of anything)

Sneak out to the rooftop scene

Surrounded by such evil things

I won’t admit this but I hate it here

And what they don’t know

Is that the place they told me I should never go

Was the place I learned to love the most

What they don’t know

Is just something they forgot when they grew old

You have to fall before you grow

So I’ll say thanks for the advice

The choice is mine to make tonight

I’d rather do this on my own than fall right into place

And we will never be alive

If we don’t learn to live our lives

I’ll run in circles till I die

Rather than have to retrace your lines

I am so sorry if you think I didn’t need you

But my heart has never lost a place for you

I just got tired of the way you stopped my movement

All I ever truly wanted was to live

And what they don’t know

Is that the place they told me I should never go

Was the place I learned to love the most

And what they don’t know

Is just something they forgot when they grew old

(You have to fall)

You have to fall before you grow

(Before you grow, before you grow, before you grow)

And after all you have to fall before you grow
