Live like you're at the bottom even when you're at the top.


If I got naked for you
Would it make a difference
Would you see the real me
Or would you keep your distance
You can take all I have
You can see how I'm made
But you can't take my pride
Far far away

The sunset's getting close
And I can't help but want you even more
One look into your eyes
And I can feel the desire between us
Is growing
What I have ever felt
I am losing it now in the moment of weakness
One look into your eyes
And I know that you won't stop me

But tell me what if the stars don't align
The way we want them to
I'm terrified and I know
I'm crying for help

If I got naked for you
Would it make a difference
Would you see the real me
Or would you keep your distance
You can take all I have
You can see how I'm made
But you can't take my pride
Far far away
No, not this time
No, not this time

The sun is nowhere to be found
And I am closer to you than to anyone in my life
Does it mean anything to you baby, tell me dear stranger
It seems like everything I've done
Hasn't been noticed by anyone
Maybe they're not the ones to help me
Maybe it's not the right time

But tell me what if the stars don't align
The way we want them to, what happens then
I'm terrified and I know
I'm crying for help, can we exchange the help for the closeness

If I got naked for you
Would it make a difference
Would you see the real me
Or would you keep your distance
You can take all I have
You can see how I'm made
But you can't take my pride
Far far away
No, not this time
No, not this time

Go, run and stop
And maybe you will see
What I have felt back then
When you just ignored me
Run and stop
And maybe I'll believe
That to be loved I don't need to be a dream

If I got naked for you
It wouldn't make a difference
You would see the real me
You wouldn't keep your distance

If I got naked for you
Would it make a difference
Would you see the real me
Or would you keep your distance
You can take all I have
You can see how I'm made
But you can't take my pride
Far far away
No, not this time
No, not this time

And maybe I'll believe
That to be loved I don't need to be a dream


The author's comments:
Naked is a metaphore. It's about being on the edge, wishing you could die but having the will to live that's even bigger. Then there's always someone who finds it cool to knock you down even though you already are down. That person leaves you naked. They just take everything you have (your feelings, you strength, your love, your happiness), they see your naked body, but they just can't take your pride, your will to live. That's what this songs is about - having hope when you're hopeless.

The song was inspired by Demi Lovato's Skyscraper and Delta Goodrem's Posessionless.
