The song was released on April 29th, alongside a video which was quickly found to include a misspelling on one of the...
[Verse 1: Josh Taylor, Charles Jones, Maiya Sykes & Aja Grant]
When I'm furthest from myself (Far away)
Feeling closer to the stars (Outer space)
I've been invaded by the dark (Can't escape)
Trying to recognize myself when I feel I've been replaced
When I'm furthest from myself (Far away)
Feeling closer to the stars (Outer space)
I've been invaded by the dark (Can't escape)
Trying to recognize myself when I feel I've been replaced
[Pre-Chorus: Josh Taylor, Charles Jones, Maiya Sykes & Aja Grant]
Oh
And I can feel a kick down in my soul (Oh)
It's pulling me back to Earth to let me know (Oh)
That I am not a slave, can't be contained
So pick me from the dark and pull me from the grave
'Cause
[Chorus: Josh Taylor, Josh Taylor, Charles Jones, Maiya Sykes & Aja Grant]
I still feel alive
When it is hopeless I start to notice
I still feel alive
Falling forward, back into orbit
Yeah
[Verse 2: Josh Taylor, Josh Taylor, Charles Jones, Maiya Sykes & Aja Grant]
So, when I lose my gravity in this sleepy womb
Drifting as I dream, but I'll wake up soon
To realize the hand of life is reaching out
To rid me of my pride, I call allegiance to myself
[Pre-Chorus: Josh Taylor, Charles Jones, Maiya Sykes & Aja Grant]
Oh
And I can feel a kick down in my soul (Oh)
It's pulling me back to Earth to let me know (Oh)
That I am not a slave, can't be contained
So pick me from the dark and pull me from the grave
'Cause
[Chorus: Josh Taylor, Josh Taylor, Charles Jones, Maiya Sykes & Aja Grant]
I still feel alive
When it is hopeless I start to notice
I still feel alive
Falling forward, back into orbit
Oh, I still feel alive
When it is hopeless I start to notice
Still feel alive
Falling forward, back into orbit
Yeah
[Pre-Bridge: Josh Taylor, Charles Jones, Maiya Sykes & Aja Grant]
Oh
And I can feel a kick down in my soul (Oh)
It's pulling me back to Earth to let me know (Oh)
And this heart that beats inside of me will show (Oh)
Yeah, it will show, oh
[Bridge: Josh Taylor, Charles Jones, Maiya Sykes & Aja Grant, Charles Jones, Maiya Sykes & Aja Grant]
Floating in outer space
Have I misplaced a part of my soul?
Lost in the in-between
Or so it seems, I'm out of control
Floating in outer space
Have I misplaced a part of my soul?
Lost in the in-between
But it can't keep me asleep for long, 'cause
[Chorus: Josh Taylor, Josh Taylor, Charles Jones, Maiya Sykes & Aja Grant]
I still feel alive
It is hopeless I start to notice
I still feel alive
Falling forward, back into orbit
Ooh, I still feel alive
I still feel alive
[Outro: Josh Taylor, Charles Jones, Maiya Sykes & Aja Grant]
I still feel alive
I still feel alive
I still feel alive
I can feel it
It ain't hopeless
I start to notice
I still feel alive
I can feel it
Falling forward
Yeah
