lirik lagu jakob leichtman – life in peru
intro:
peru has been a life changing experience for me. beautiful memories, beautiful landscapes but most importantly, beautiful people
came to terms with my depression, learned many lessons
did some growing up, now gonna show you up
can i stay please? i’m not ready to leave
y’all are special, all are essential
so much potential, let’s be successful
verse 1:
on my robin williams vibe makin’ sure no one’s alone
cuz i’m too familiar with that that’s why i’m so far gone
i travel so f-cking much now everywhere is my home
people of this planet i think we’re meant to roam
free, with each other, with our lovers, that’s the way to be
you hurt me really bad but you ain’t got nothing to say to me
how do you live with yourself? after all of my given help
cards we were dealt are the same but now we’re playing different games
verse 2:
said i would lie for you, said i would die for you
but april 8th 2016 i almost died in peru
woke up on the street earrings, phone, wallet not all they snatched
cried myself to sleep for a week, man that’s a f-cking fact
almost didn’t see 20, dignity taken from me
skin all bl–dy man how am i this lucky?
haven’t been the same ever since that f-cking night
another wake-up call having me cherish my life
cuz it’s amazing as the people that i’ve met here
i can be myself with them, i can be that sincere
i got so much love for them, i don’t want to leave them
but once may 7th arrives i don’t think i’ll ever see them
again, this the end, special friends, i can’t pretend
how much they mean to me, i don’t think they can comprehend
role model for these kids, inspiration for these kids
father figure for these kids, that’s just the way i live
if it wasn’t for my dad, i’d be one of these kids
that’s what dominates me, that’s what motivates me
wishing you could swap lives with me i know that’s why you hate me
i used to hate you but realized i don’t need you
doing shit for myself no longer just to please you
thought we had the same goals, but guess you changed your vision
been around the world so i know what it means when i say i’ll give it
london, rome, and peru, now off to bosnia, serbia, greece
right back to great britain man traveling brings me peace
last year i was lost torn myself into pieces
didn’t know my purpose i was still searchin’ for my meaning
peru has done more for me than i can ever do for you
but gave me perspective i done switched up my attitude
no longer mad at you, don’t even feel bad for you
some people challenge you while others just balance you
some even go absence too but this the life i’ve had so far
i’m glad i’m the one who it’s happened to
i made it to 20, i got that next decade
take me back to peru for huanchaco thursdays
leaving s.k.i.p. was really tough, that’s all i’ll say
still sad about leaving but happier that i came
finally starting to figure out who am i exactly
this s.k.i.p. adventure is what i needed badly
people made it special, thank you sam, max, hannah and hatty
but now i got to go, this is my finale
