On “Livewire”, Holly expresses how hard it is to grow up along with someone who’s unpredictable, as she woes about not being able to deal with their explosiveness once you’re older.
She elaborates on this experience in an August 2020 interview with Atwood Magazine:
[…] I feel like a lot of people...
Livewire Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm getting older, you're getting older
Never in touch, we gave up on that recently
Trash the hotel room, couldn't be closer
Making a mess ain't as fun as it used to be
[Pre-Chorus]
Life can't always be one giant firework display
(I give up, I look back on those days)
[Chorus]
Ooh, are you still a live wire?
Ooh, are you still starting fires?
We had our own kind of energy
Funny, when you're right there next to me
Trouble will find us, but now it's behind us
[Verse 2]
Falling from grace, but I wouldn't change it
Maybe, we took things just one little step too far
Coming home late and waking your neighbours
At least, there'll be no more destruction now we're apart
[Pre-Chorus]
Life can't always be one perfect walk in the park
(We grow up and we grow apart)
[Chorus]
Ooh, are you still a live wire?
Ooh, are you still starting fires?
We had our own kind of energy
Funny when you're right there next to me
Trouble will find us, but now it's behind us
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, hope you're still alive
Hope you're still a live wire
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, hope you're still alive
Hope you're still a live wire
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Outro]
Ooh, are you still a live wire?
Ooh, are you still starting fires?
We had our own kind of energy
Funny when you're right there next to me
Trouble will find us, but now it's behind us

What did Holly Humberstone say about "Livewire"?
I grew up in the countryside around Grantham, just below Nottingham, in a really, really old house that’s kind of falling apart. Rob drove to mine and set up a mini studio for a few days at the house and we wrote this song there. It’s really special that the piano I grew up playing on features in th...
