Native Lyrics by Good Scott

2016

[Verse 1]
Is this real life?
Is this what I came for?
Did I leave behind?
What should I stay for?
All along I
Deciding to wake her up
Trying to keep the things I thought I'd lost

[Pre-Chorus]
(Oh, I, oh, I)
But the end we call home
(Oh, I, oh, I)
It doesn't listen anymore
(Oh, I, oh, I)
Now these roots are overgrown
I need space to breathe in

[Chorus]
I'm breaking out, not running away
I'm no native, I'm no native here
I've wasted time in these barricades
I'm no native, I'm no native here
Slip right in through the open
Staring into the sun
Another break in the ocean
Now my time has come
Something in my blood
Tells me I can't stay
I'm no native, I'm no native here

[Verse 2]
And I've realized
I don't speak the language
It all sounds the same
But I don't understand it
Found a way out
Out to higher ground to get myself out of the lost and found

[Pre-Chorus]
(Oh, I, oh, I)
But the end we call home
(Oh, I, oh, I)
It doesn't listen anymore
(Oh, I, oh, I)
Now these roots are overgrown
I need space to breathe in

[Chorus]
I'm breaking out, not running away
I'm no native, I'm no native here
I've wasted time in these barricades
I'm no native, I'm no native here
Slip right in through the open
Staring into the sun
Another break in the ocean
Now my time has come
Something in my blood
Tells me I can't stay
I'm no native, I'm no native here

[Bridge]
(Oh, I, oh, I)
(Oh, I, oh, I)
I'm no native
(Oh, I, oh, I)
(Oh, I, oh, I)
I'm no native here

[Bridge 2]
(Oh, I, oh, I)
Searching for an island in the storm
(Oh, I, oh, I)
Looking for a place to be reborn
(Oh, I, oh, I)
And I'm breaking down the woods to call my own
(Oh, I, oh, I)
To call my own
I'm not native here
Something in my blood
Tells me I can't stay

[Chorus]
I'm breaking out, not running away
I'm no native, I'm no native here
I've wasted time in these barricades
I'm no native, I'm no native here
Slip right in through the open
Staring into the sun
Another break in the ocean
Now my time has come
Something in my blood
Tells me I can't stay
I'm no native, I'm no native here
