Local Lyrics by Igor Benwire

Four EP

2018

[Verse 1]
I threw my heart into a different story
And to my mind I lied I see the end
I saw the lights of roads been laid before me
But chose to dive into the wild again
So find me wrapping head 'round every corner
And bumping into shoulders way too much
Somebody's packing bags, somebody else has found their home here
But for now it's only me that I can judge

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh I'm so green and awkward
Falling into rhythm and blues
Might be a fool, but oh –
Can't feel more cool 'bout all
I want the whole world
Rolling under both of my shoes
Chasing the truth alone, you know

[Chorus]
Once more I'll be somebody
They call an alien
Walk by the signs I can't read
Something's telling I'm on that very line
What all the walls are talking
I'll never understand
But I ain't trying to go for local
Just not be a foreigner to myself
Mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm

[Verse 2]
This city's running faster than my wristwatch
Sometimes I think I need a week of 27/8
And even when it's night, ah
These streets are laces-like
They take me to the hoods where Friday's everyday
So hear me sing it now and play it louder
I hate that smoke I'm all about that flames, oh-oh
I'm sweet in the sour, my fear's now a power, better with every hour
But can I be one who would grow and stay the same

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh I'm still green and awkward
Falling into rhythm and blues
Chasing the truth alone, you know

[Chorus]
Once more I'll be somebody
They call an alien
Walk by the signs I can't read
Something's telling I'm on that very line
What all the walls are talking
I'll never understand
But I ain't trying to go for local
Just not be a foreigner to myself
Mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm

[Chorus]
Once more I'll be somebody
They call an alien
Walk by the signs I can't read
Oh-oh
I'll be somebody
Something's telling I'm on that very line
No-no-oh-oh-ah
And I ain't tryna go for local
Just not be a foreigner to my-
Self
