Live Wire (Demo) Lyrics

A live wire straight from the start, his old man told him he's not built to last

"You're not like the other stars, yeah you'll fly like a comet but you'll burn twice as fast"

He's got it all figured out, but let's it pass him by

Looks at all the questions, keeps the answers in his mind

Not making progress so far, but looking at dreams, that's just how it goes

He just hops in his car, yeah he takes what he's got and then he follows the road

He falls back down again, but doesn't seem to care

As long as he can do it again, he'll treat the failure like his air

Now he takes one more step, he doesn't see it all

The pain he chose to forget, it all comes to a halt

It's one more thing off his chest, and another added on

And so he loves, just to let it slip, you notice right before's he's gone

Yeah, you notice before he's gone

He thinks about how fast time flies, it seems like his youth was gone by a day

Never one of the guys, yeah while everything was great, he was just okay

He's really one for words, but no one hears him speak

He never made small talk, no, his voice is for keeps

Now he takes one more step, he doesn't see it all

The pain he chose to forget, it all comes to a halt

It's one more thing off his chest, and another added on

So he loves, just to let it slip, you notice right before he's gone

Yeah you notice, before he's gone

In his mind, he wanders

Searching for one of his kind

Constantly finds himself asunder

Sometimes it seems easier to - oh

So he takes one more step, he doesn't see it all

The pain he chose to forget, it all comes to a halt

It's one more thing off his chest, and another added on

So he loves, just to let it slip, and you notice

Right before's he's gone

Yeah he takes one more step, he doesn't see it all

He takes one more step, it all comes to a halt

He takes one more step

And so he loves, just to let it slip

You notice right before he's gone

Yeah, you notice before he's gone

Yeah, you notice, but now he's gone
