What We Stay Alive For Lyrics by Sleep On It

Overexposed

2017

[Verse 1]
Every street that's paved with apprehension
Is filling me with good intentions
All the doubt that I still hold is getting old
Like every single place that we've outgrown
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm made to be this reflection of nothing
But something is starting to show
[Chorus]
Looking up I see the sun in my eyes
I feel it getting warmer as the darkness dies
And I pray every day that you feel this way
Can you hear me when I say you're not alone?
[Verse 2]
Lost my way
Couldn't find the water in the rain
They say everything looks different because
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm made to be this reflection of nothing
But something is starting to show
[Chorus]
Looking up I see the sun in my eyes
I feel it getting warmer as the darkness dies
And I pray every day that you will feel this way
Can you hear me when I say you're not alone?
[Bridge]
Don't need a crutch to walk away
I won't buckle from the weight
Of the words you say
'Cause I'm getting stronger
Don't need a crutch to walk away
I won't buckle from the weight
Every day my stride's getting longer
[Chorus]
Looking up I see the sun in my eyes
I feel it getting warmer as the darkness dies
I pray every day that you will feel this way
Can you hear me when I say you're not
Looking up I see the sun in my eyes
I feel it getting warmer as the darkness dies
I pray every day that you will feel this way
Can you hear me when I say you're not alone?
You are not alone
You are not alone
You are not alone
