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 in 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.
Felt safe walking in straight lines.
You were a shock to my system
lighting up a fire so bright.
There's no turning back for me.
