Shock To My System - Gemma Hayes

It’s like getting close to the sun

I wanna tell you things

I just can’t get air in my lungs long enough to explain

See I was born awake

Little by little I simply fell asleep

Then you came, it all changed

You were right, I was half alive

You were a shock to my system

Tearing up my quiet life

Now it’s hard to watch your back

Move away from me just like that

In an instant all is gone, all is wrong

I’m caught in the red but I’m fading to grey

A constant reminder that nothing stays the same

But nothing ever really changes

You were right, I was half alive

You were a shock to my system

Tearing up my quiet life

I felt safe walking straight lines

You were a shock to my system

Lighting up a fire so bright

Now there’s no turning back for me

I met you in the corner of the day

You said I was beautiful

But only when I’m lost

And you were right, I was half alive

You were a shock to my system

Tearing up my quiet life

I felt safe walking straight lines

You were a shock to my system

Lighting up a fire so bright

There’s no turning back for me now
