LYRICS
[Verse]
If you look towards heaven
On any given night
You may see the stars glowing
Shining ever-bright
Are they really shining
Or just burning in the sky?
Well, maybe they're a little bit of both at the same time, ha
[Verse]
Have you ever loved somebody
And felt so good it hurt?
But then they went running
When you dug up all their dirt
Was it only lust
Or is love also a curse?
Maybe they're a little bit of both in reverse
[Chorus]
How come some days you're living
And other days it's death?
How come everything that's given
Somehow always leaves a debt?
How come joy needs sorrow and reason don't rhyme?
Until you're horizontal, life ain't a straight line, yeah
Maybe we're all a little bit of everything combined
[Verse]
Feeling like Superman
But I don't got no cape to fly, ha
Wanna push against the atmosphere
And leave gravity defied
But is it really flying
Or is falling redefined? Ha
Maybe it could be a bit of both at the same time
[Chorus]
How come some days you're living
And other days it's death?
How come everything we're given
Somehow always leaves a debt?
How come joy needs sorrow and reason don't rhyme?
Until you're horizontal, life ain't a straight line, yeah
Maybe we're all a little bit of everything combined
[Bridge]
Maybe we're a little bit of both
Everything withers after it grows
Maybe we're a little bit of both at the same time
[Chorus]
How come some days you're living
And other days it's death?
How come everything that's given
Somehow always leaves a debt?
How come joy needs sorrow and reason don't rhyme?
Until you're horizontal, life ain't a straight line
Maybe we're all a little bit of-
Maybe we're all a little bit of-
Maybe we're all a little bit of everything combined

The jury had it right. You were BY FAR the best song of the competition. Just know that YOU are a musician's artist. AleXa's song was catchy, but her song probably resonated more with the younger generation who are more likely to participate in voting for shows like this. Freaking love the groove of this song, though, and your voice is dope. Keep cranking out hits like these! Much respect.

He had me at - "feeling like superman but I don't got no cape to fly. wanna push up against the atmosphere and leave gravity defied. But if it really flying or is falling redefined. Maybe it could be a bit of both at the same time" 💕 .. this song is so dope...a playlist fav. Just because of the real-life metaphors he was throwing at us. The part when he said - "Maybe we're a little bit of both everything withers after it grows. Maybe we're a little bit of both at the same time. How come some days you're living and other days it's death? How come everything that's given somehow always leaves a debt". CRAZY 👀/ Then when he said - "until you're horizontal life ain't a straight line 😩 maybe we're all just a bit of everything combined"... An amazing writer with soulful voice... LOVE IT 🙌.

I agree with all the comments here and I just have to say when a song hits you instantaneously it becomes a life anthem a huge gift for decades to come and this is such a song. And I have to say also that I thought America's original song contest was a wonderful premise and that of course Alexa was amazing but I think they need to separate a song contest from a performance contest which I think was the difference between Alexa and Allen Stone there's just no comparison for a song that you're going to be singing and crying and just using as a lullaby the minute you hear it Thank you Alan Stone and I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother if you ever see these comments we all are...
