Twenty One lyrics - Khalid

You just turned 21

So lately you been drinkin'

Wasted on alcohol

You chase to fight the feeling

Thinkin' 'bout letting go

Would that be easy for you then, then

So lay with me, lay with me

We're underneath the bleachers

Stay or leave, stay or leave

I hope you'll never leave

And all of these memories

Crawling underneath your skin, skin

'Cause you're in pain

But who's to blame?

All our lives, it never ends

Yeah, alright

You gotta hold on tight

Yeah, alright

Alright

Don't believe everything

The shaky life gives you anxiety

But finally I see you smiling

When you say you need privacy

You're only hiding from yourself (mhmm)

You say I'm fine coming home

I see the sun come up and shut the blinds

Episodes, I know I never take my own advice when I'm wrong

But I can't do it by myself, no

'Cause you're in pain

But who's to blame?

All our lives, it never ends

Yeah, alright (alright)

You gotta hold on tight

Yeah, alright

You gotta hold on tight

'Cause I'm in pain

But I'm to blame

To end this fire

I have to change

Yeah, alright

You gotta hold on tight

Yeah, alright

Hold on tight

Bluffin' lyrics - Khalid

Take enough

Turn off the lights

We're so in denial

Of breaking up

We make it up

Every time

I look in your eyes

I'm back in love

I've waited all my life

For someone like you

But I'm losing sight

Of your point of view

Are we broken?

Lost in emotion

Are you all in?

Are you bluffin'?

Is this the last ride?

Stay here one last night

I know we're both tired

If that's our excuse

Are you all in?

Are you bluffin'?

Are you? hmm...

It's no one's fault

That's what they say

You want it your way

You know it all

We say it's no one's fault

Losin' our minds

Lie after lie

Fakin' love

We had a hell of a ride

Issues aside

Both of us

Are we broken?

Lost in emotion

Are you all in?

Are you bluffin'?

Is this the last ride?

Stay here one last night

I know we're both tired

If that's our excuse

Are you all in?

Are you bluffin'?

Are you? hmm...

Ooh, are you?

Self lyrics - Khalid

I've ran away from love

It's gettin' hard for me to breathe

'Cause the man that I've been runnin' from is inside of me

I tell him, "Keep it quiet"

So all he does is speak

'Cause he wants to keep his distance

But it's hard for him to leave

He knows I hear him cryin'

Cryin' out for help

I don't know how to save him

I can't even save myself

There's many people dyin'

I've always been afraid

Not that I'm scared of livin'

I'm scared of feeling pain

I don't need another hand, I need a couple suggestions

Always had a little trouble with self-reflections

Now, does my raw emotion make me less of a man? Hmm

Always had a little trouble with self-reflections

I've been so used to winnin'

It was hard for me to lose

No, there's nothing wrong with me

There's just something wrong with you

So I've been making changes

Been workin' on my health

No more competition

Can't compete against myself, no, no, no

I'm not doin' this to be loved, no, no

I've been doin' this to be remembered

Let the people hear it if they want to

All the one's around me get it on, too

If I die tomorrow and I'm gone

Let the blood run high

Let the carpets drown

I'll be forever numb

I don't need another hand, I need a couple suggestions

Always had a little trouble with self-reflections

Now, does my raw emotion make me less of a man? Hmm

Always had a little trouble with self-reflections

I don't need another hand, I need a couple suggestions

Always had a little trouble with self-reflections

Now, does my raw emotion make me less of a man? Hmm

Always had a little trouble with self-reflections

Let this be a promise

That when it's said and done

Be a flower in the garden

Be born with the sun

Be born with the sun

Be born with the sun

Be born with the sun

Be born with the sun

Alive lyrics - Khalid

Unread texts and missed calls

Told everyone I turned my phone off

Didn't ask for help and now I'm lost

Life comes in phases

Consequences and mistakes

I'm sorry that it's taken me so long

Mister, mister, please let off your power

Can you give me half an hour?

Or better yet, a full

Only sleep until it all comes true

But life is what you make it

And then there's more to lose

Gate keeper, can you show me more to life?

Lately I've been livin' out of spite

Grim Reaper, just give me one more night

I need another chance to say goodbye

I shouldn't have to die to feel alive

Here's the thing with disappearin'

You can yell and no one hears ya

Times like this I need an ear

When I finally have so much to say

Wish I could see your face

So do what I had to stop the tears

Sister, sister, please know that I'm sorry

I wish you could have stopped me

From fallin' off the hill

Only sweet until it all goes sour

My path is what you make it

Until it gets too real (until it gets too real)

Gate keeper, can you show me more to life?

Lately I've been livin' out of spite

Grim Reaper, just give me one more night

I need another chance to say goodbye

I shouldn't have to die to feel alive

Heaven lyrics - Khalid

You're my ride or die

Let's burn out tonight

Even if we don't survive

We were right about being wrong

Don't look back to the wreck

Stay with me

Turn your head, this is it

All that's left

Just some times that we had

Woah, Heaven, make me an offer

Lord, there's nothing for me left down here

Heaven, if you come over

Oh, I know how to make us disappear

And now the way you say

My name sounds like a song

That you've been singin' all along

Don't forget it once I'm gone

Woah, Heaven, make me an offer

Lord, there's nothing for me left down here

Heaven, if you come over

Oh, I know how to make us disappear

Heaven, (yeah...) make me an offer

Lord, there's nothing for me left down here

Heaven, if you come over

Oh, I know how to make us disappear

Heaven, make me an offer

Lord, there's nothing for me left out here

Saturday Nights lyrics - Khalid

Saturday nights, blueberry cigarillos

Swishers make my throat hurt

Rolling OCB's on the side for me

Light 'em up and let 'em both burn

Family feuds, say your mom's confused

Off of shit she doesn't wanna learn

But daddy's gone, say he's never home

And wishing only makes it worse

I guess there's certain dreams that you gotta keep

'Cause they'll only know what you let 'em see

All the things that I know

That your parents don't

They don't care like I do

Nowhere like I do

And all the things that I know

That your parents don't

They don't care like I do

Nowhere like I do

Nowhere like I do

Nowhere like I do

Saturday nights, light gray Silverado

You drive it 'cause you have to

Stay up working late at a job you hate

Fix your makeup in a dirty bathroom

No more love, in and out of clubs

Knowing what you gotta do

You've got plans wrapped in rubber bands

And that's the only thing you'll never lose

I guess there's certain dreams that you gotta keep

'Cause they'll only know what you let 'em see

All the things that I know

That your parents don't

They don't care like I do

Nowhere like I do

And all the things that I know

That your parents don't

They don't care like I do

Nowhere like I do

Nowhere like I do

'Cause I care, I care about you

There's nowhere I'd rather be

Than right here around you

I care, care about you

There's nowhere I'd rather be

All the things that I know

That your parents don't

They don't care about you

Nowhere like I do

All the things that I know

That your parents don't

Don't care about you

Nowhere like I

Nowhere like I do (Do, do, do)

Nowhere like I do (Do, do, do)

Nowhere like I do (Do, do, do)

Nowhere like I do (Do, do, do)

Vertigo lyrics - Khalid

Are we better off believin'

What the ignorance suggests

I wish livin' life was easy (Mhm)

But mine has been a mess

They say it comes with the seasons (Mhm)

But the seasons come and go (They go)

I go blurry when I'm thinkin'

Is it me or vertigo?

Criticized

Who am I to give up?

Breathing what's the reason to let up

Sympathize

Who am I to give up?

Putting on my favorite record tonight

Are we alive?

Or are we dreamin'?

After the ride

Are you leavin'?

Are we alive? (Riding this, riding in this)

Are we dreamin'? (Riding this, riding in this)

After the ride

Are you leavin'? (Riding this, riding in this)

I've been better, I've been broken

I've been battered up and beat

I wish I was more outspoken

But the words are out of reach

Hmm, thought I loved you in the moment

I was happy, I was gone

I been learnin', I've been growin'

But the worst has yet to come

Criticized (Yeah)

Who am I to give up? (Who am I)

Breathing what's the reason to let up

Sympathize

Who am I to give up?

Puttin' on my favorite record tonight

Are we alive?

Or are we dreamin'?

After the ride

Are you leaving?

Are we alive? (Riding this, riding in this)

Are we dreamin'? (Riding this, riding in this)

After the ride

Are you leaving? (Riding this, riding in this)

(Who am I)

Eyes closed, eyes closed

I've been fallin' with my

Eyes low, eyes low

I've been fallin' with my

Eyes closed, eyes closed

I've been fallin' with my

Eyes low, eyes low

I've been fallin' with my

Eyes closed, eyes closed

I've been fallin' with my

Eyes low, eyes low

I've been fallin' with my

Eyes closed, eyes closed

I've been falling with my

Eyes low, eyes low

I've been, I've been, I've been

Eyes closed, eyes closed

I've been fallin' with my

Eyes low, eyes low

I've been fallin' with my

Eyes closed, eyes closed

I've been fallin' with my

Eyes low, eyes low

I've been fallin' with my
