Oliver Walker - Sunset Views lyrics

It’s the only life I know
When we all lose control
It’s the only life I know
When we all lose control
It’s the only life I know
When we all lose control
It’s the only life I know
When we all lose control

The records that you want to play are broken
All the things you’re seeing are only
Real when your time is frozen
And every time you wait for someone else
You lose time when you could’ve
Done it all by yourself
I speak truths, and I don’t mean to be rude
But all that stuff happened it always
Comes back to you so
I’m standing on a mountainside late at night
Screaming ‘F You’ to the people
Who never wanted to ride
I guess time is linear or something like that
I never paid attention in class
And there's no take backs in life
You gotta make decisions way
Before the outcome
So if you mess up now, you worse off later
You’re welcome for all the stuff I did
I’m frozen up like finger tips
Touching broken glass from a plane crash
I wish I could have dreams
But nightmares still want payback
For something I did years ago
But I ain’t like that anymore, I’ve changed
For the better, what you say?
We’re acting like we’re gods but
We’re living life as slaves to the big man
Who keeps creeping round upstairs
Peeking round the fucking corner
Till he has the heart to say
Something, I know he doesn’t care
They see it but they act like they unaware
She don’t know, what’s best for
The others, I rest my case
When I fall for the lover i swear

It’s the only life I know
When we all lose control
It’s the only life I know
When we all lose control
It’s the only life I know
When we all lose control
It’s the only life I know
When we all lose control

Let me, tell you a story bout the person
That I wanted to be
Like an astronaut or someone who
Would sail the seas
And see the whole wide world
All the birds and the bees
You try to bring me down but imma
Try to stay on my feet please

Have you heard of all these incidents?
Of students who are city kids
Dreaming of some bigger things
And then they had to hide away
From what they want to do
But now I’m here to show you that
My first tape was not a fluke
You need to understand
That life can never go as planned
You could die tomorrow or today
Or you could go to Japan
You never know where this shit
Is gonna take you
And all these fucking people who
Don’t understand will break you or try to
You don’t have to let them win
And if you have a problem
You gotta let them in let them listen
Cause therapy isn’t cheap
They just give you adder-all
Hoping that you will sleep but you won’t-
The demons keep me up at night-
I don't wanna talk about it, Nah

It's the only life I chose
It's not the life I chose, oh, Woah
Watching all the sunsets fade
Wishing she would stay today
Watching all the sunsets fade
Wishing she would go away (way, way, way)

Oh, baby why won't you stay on my side
(My side) oh, baby
When I see the sunset I cry
(When I see the sunset I cry)

(And all this time, you're telling lies)
It's the only life I chose
(You're telling lies)
It's not the life I chose, oh, Woah
