about
‘Underachiever’ is a bit of a self-analysis on LiLy’s own personal traits which then developed into a love song and how love can make you feel like it’s Christmas everyday. Aww!
lyrics
Underachiever
I’m an underachiever
A child like believer
A poster girl for all that’s wrong with the world
There’s no alter ego
No place that I won’t go
But why don’t we just call a spade a spade.
Butterflies, electric shocks
Caught up in this fear I’ve got
It’s so clear that I just gave the whole game away
Cos when you smile me
I light up like a Christmas tree
You’re so bright
It’s makes me weak
There’s no words needed
No warning I heeded
The sound of silence
Seems so loud
My callous finger tips
Longing to touch your lips
It’s a thin line between
Here and there
You see I’m a slow burner
But a real page turner
Acting like I’ve got nothing left to lose
When you smile me
I light up like a Christmas tree
You’re so bright
It’s makes me weak
I’m just a lost cause
Clutching the last straws
Keeping it steady
As you put me back in my place
I really should be leaving
It’s so late in the evening
But there’s no place
where I’d rather be
When you smile me
I light up like a Christmas tree
You’re so bright
It’s makes me weak
Now what have you done to me?
I’m lit up like a Christmas tree
You’re so pretty
It’s makes me weak
