“Scarecrow” is the debut original single of
X Factor USA winners Alex and Sierra. It’s about feeling numb of emotions without a loved one.
In an interview with Teen Vogue Sierra said the following about this song:
‘Scarecrow’ is about when someone really can’t communicate their feelings in a relat...
[Verse 1: Alex, Sierra]
(Hey! Hey!)
I'm standing still without you in the emptiest of fields
I wish that I could say what's on my mind
(Hey!)
The straw that fills your heart, so you never have to feel
You say that you just need a little time
(Hey!)
In days like these, I bury my, my each and every word
And hide 'em underneath these lonely trees
The harvest moon is wicked, I know that you've been hurt
But I swear I'm here for good, I'll never leave
[Pre-Chorus: Alex, Sierra]
This is where it starts tonight
If you open up your heart tonight
[Chorus: Both]
You're staring out the window
And I'm out here in the street (Hey!)
You're standing like a scarecrow
And I'm begging you to speak (Hey!)
You used to be my solid ground
Now I'm drowning in the sea (Hey!)
And I just wanna believe in you and me (Hey!)
I just wanna believe in you and me
[Post-Chorus: Both]
Hey, yeah (Hey!), hey
Hey, yeah (Hey!), hey
[Verse 2: Sierra, Alex]
Used to be so full of life, not just an empty shell
You're out there all alone, I wonder why
(Hey!)
The pieces keep on falling out and I pick 'em up myself
But I'd let you steal the buttons from my eyes
[Pre-Chorus: Alex, Sierra]
Oh, this is where it starts tonight
If you open up your heart tonight
[Chorus: Both]
You're staring out the window
And I'm out here in the street (Hey!)
You're standing like a scarecrow
And I'm begging you to speak (Hey!)
You used to be my solid ground
Now I'm drowning in the sea (Hey!)
And I just wanna believe in you and me
Yeah, I just wanna believe in you and me
[Post-Chorus: Both]
Hey, yeah (Hey!), hey
Hey, yeah (Hey!), hey
Hey, yeah, hey
Hey, yeah, hey
[Bridge: Sierra, Alex]
You said you'd open up for me
Well, nothing's what it seems to be
How can I make you feel again?
Only you can make me real again
[Breakdown: Both, Sierra]
You're staring out the window
I'm out here in the street
You're standing like a scarecrow
I'm begging you to speak
You used to be my solid ground
I'm drowning in the sea
I just wanna believe in you and me
I just wanna believe in you
[Chorus: Both]
You're staring out the window
And I'm out here in the street (Hey!)
You're standing like a scarecrow
And I'm begging you to speak (Hey!)
You used to be my solid ground
Now I'm drowning in the sea (Hey!)
And I just wanna believe in you and me
Yeah, I just wanna believe in you and me
[Post-Chorus: Both]
Hey, yeah (Hey!), hey
Hey, yeah (Hey!), hey
[Outro: Both, Sierra]
You're staring out the window (Hey, yeah, hey)
I'm out here in the street
You're standing like a scarecrow (Hey, yeah, hey)
And I just wanna believe in you and me
