[Verse 1]
They've got fire
Well I've got lightning bolts
They keep hunting
Tryin' to kill my hope
[Pre-Chorus]
And everywhere I go
I see them in the corner of my eye
Shoutin' that it's over
Shoutin' that I'd stop the fight
Can somebody tell me
How to win a fight?
Can somebody tell me
Is the fear inside?
[Chorus]
I wanna learn how to live
Without the consequences
I wanna learn how to live
Without the consequences
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
Shakin' fingers
Chest gets tighter now
Try to stay calm
Try to come back down
[Pre-Chorus]
But everywhere I go
I see them in the corner of my eye
Shoutin' that it's over
Sayin' I should stop the fight
Will somebody tell me
How to win a fight?
Can somebody tell me
Is the fear inside?
[Chorus]
I wanna learn how to live
Without the consequences
I wanna learn how to live
Without the consequences
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
I wanna learn how to live (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Without the consequences (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I wanna learn how to live (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Without the consequences (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
[Bridge]
I can see them waitin'
Outside the window
Tryna tell me how to live
Oh, they won't go
I can see them waitin'
Outside the window
Tryna tell me how to live
Oh, they won't go
Oh, they won't go
Oh, they won't go
Oh, they won't go
[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
I wanna learn how to live (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Without the consequences (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I wanna learn how to live (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Without the consequences (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

“Learn to Live” is the first song on the album and it talks about my fears. I have a lot of them and I just kind of want to break free with this song and really focus on living, loving life and not caring about what happens if this happens or if that happens. Just feeling free.
