Cate Selna - living Lyrics

If there is a God up there, can you please let me see
Why, in my city, what matters never seems to come for free
I'm feeling like the wind, carries everyone but me
So I'm losing

Everybody's climbing here; they're reaching for the top
It's a city where the people never seem to stop
To think about the way they will feel at the top
Because it burns them to stop
Oh, it burns them; it burns them to stop

Because my mother said
Pick it up, girl
You've got to get your head
Screwed on before you end up alone instead
You're looking to people who all understand
That the world is a competition
And you've got to start living if you want to win it
Oh, oh no no no
Oh no no no, ooh

Inside everyone but me, it seems that they're inspired
I'm not sad or anything; I promise it's not that tight
I can't seem to get my head screwed on, but that's alright
I'm looking up still for the sunshine
Oh, I'm looking up still for the sunlight

Because my mother said
Pick it up, girl
You've got to get your head
Screwed on before you end up alone instead
You're looking to people who all understand
That the world is a competition
And you've got to start living
Oh, oh no no no
Oh no no no, ohhh
Oh no no, oh no no, ohhhh
