awerysopelea - somewhere underneath it all

Şarkı Sözleri

[Intro — Acoustic Guitar, soft piano enters] [Verse 1 — Male] I learned to carry rooms without a sound, shake every hand, keep both feet on the ground. Numbers on a screen, another day gone by, everybody talks like there's no time to ask why. I drive home late when the streets turn black, leave all the voices somewhere at my back. And somewhere between the headlights and the stars, I remember I was more than what we are. [Verse 2 — Female] You always say you're fine before I ask, smile like you've gotten good at wearing that mask. But I know where your eyes go when the whole world sleeps, to questions that are yours and yours to keep. You want to know if any of this stays, if we're more than names and ordinary days. And every time you tell me you're alright, I see you searching for a little more light. [Pre-Chorus — Alternating] [M] Maybe I was never made to settle down inside [F] Maybe you were never meant to leave those questions behind [M] I don't need the answer tonight [F] You don't need the answer tonight [Chorus — Both] Somewhere underneath it all, under every role and every wall, there's a boy still looking at the sky asking if there's more than being alive. [M] I don't wanna wake up years from now and wonder where the wonder went somehow. [F] You won't lose it, even if you try. [Both] There's still something burning in your eyes. Somewhere underneath it all, you're still you. You're still you. [Instrumental — Fingerpicked guitar, warm piano] [Verse 3 — Male] I like the silence after midnight comes, when nobody needs me and the whole world hums. A river in the dark, a field, a distant light, funny how the smallest things can make life feel right. I've wanted more since I was seventeen, faster, higher, somewhere I had never been. And now I've got the things I used to chase, still I catch that younger me inside my face. [Verse 4 — Female] Maybe that's the part you shouldn't ever lose, the part that still believes there's something left to choose. The one who builds new worlds when this one's getting small, who feels too much and somehow calls it nothing at all. You think your restless heart's a heavy thing, but maybe that's the reason you still feel everything. Some people stop asking just to make it through— I'd rather hear a thousand questions out of you. [Pre-Chorus — Male / Female] [M] What if all my searching never brings me home? [F] What if all your searching means you already know? [M] That I don't want an ordinary life [F] No, you just want one that feels alive. [Chorus — Both, fuller] Somewhere underneath it all, under every role and every wall, there's a boy still looking at the sky asking if there's more than being alive. [M] I don't wanna wake up years from now and wonder where the wonder went somehow. [F] You won't lose it, even if you try. [Both] There's still something burning in your eyes. Somewhere underneath it all, you're still you. You're still you. [Bridge — Piano only] [M] And if I never learn what's waiting past the stars, why something came from nothing, why we are what we are— [F] Then stay the man who wonders, stay awake inside your life. You don't have to solve the darkness just to recognize the light. [M] Will you remind me if I forget? [F] I'll remind you. [M] If I become what I never meant? [F] I'll still find you. [Both — very soft] Somewhere underneath it all. [Final Chorus — Guitar + Piano, intimate then rising] [Both] Somewhere underneath it all, under every name they ever call, there's a heart that never learned to lie when it says there must be more to life. [M] Maybe I will never figure out what any of this living is about. [F] Maybe that's what keeps your soul alive. [Both] Still looking up into the endless night. And when the noise is gone, when there's nothing left to prove, when the whole world finally lets you lose— [F, soft] All the things you thought you had to be... [M] Maybe then I'll finally see— [Both] Somewhere underneath it all, I'm still me. [Outro — Female harmony] [F] You're still you... [M] I'm still me. [Both, almost whispered] And I'm still looking.
