Alive Like Me - Our Time Down Here Lyrics






You’re growing up too fast they said
But I don’t want to live my life like them
and I just want to think about tonight
because the past is my ghost

Let’s meet up in a shady part of town
Where they don’t want to see us lose
our crowns because we’re kings to them
Well I don’t think we’re kings of anything
(No I don’t think we’re kings of anything)

Sneak out to the rooftop scene
Surrounded by such evil things
I won’t admit this but I hate it here

And what they don’t know
is that the place they told me I should never go
Was the place I learned to love the most
What they don’t know
is just something they forgot when they grew old
You have to fall before you grow

So I’ll say thanks for the advice
The choice is mine to make tonight
I’d rather do this on my own than fall right into place
And we will never be alive
If we don’t learn to live our lives
I’ll run in circles till I die
Rather than have to retrace your lines

I am so sorry if you think I didn’t need you
But my heart has never lost a place for you
I just got tired of the way you stopped my movement
All I ever truly wanted was to live

And what they don’t know
is that the place they told me I should never go
Was the place I learned to love the most
And what they don’t know
is just something they forgot when they grew old
(You have to fall)
You have to fall before you grow
(before you grow) [x3]
And after all you have to fall before you grow

    That guitar is insane!

  4. j.... B....

  5. Z.... ....

    The band that taught me that not every guy can sing this high.

  6. b.... c....

    It was a very good band....

  7. t.... ....

    wow the lead singer looks a lot like jairus kersey !

    t.... ....

    tom that’s cause it is Jairus

    t.... ....

    Forrest Gump don’t worry I know :p

  8. �.... �....

    oh it's a very good video) Hello from Russia

  9. A.... S....

    Broadway x SWS x her bright skies

  10. E.... M....

    What's up with these guys? Do they have new music?

    E.... M....

    They released "Only Forever" then split unfortunately. They're pretty dire live to be honest so I guess that played a huge part in their decision.

  11. M.... P....

    I have been looking for new bands all morning. No luck until now. Think I found a new favorite band!

  12. J.... G....

    Why does his voice remind me of Jag from ASD ;_;

  13. T.... D....

    Remind of me of youth in revolt but wes will from something you whisper as vocalist

  14. S.... ....

    Best.Song.

  15. A.... L....

    Was I the only one who was singing along with the SWS at the end? Also how did I not know about this band sooner, there amazing!

  16. B.... W....

    What happen to this band?

  17. D.... W....

    Two and a half years later, this album still holds up. Glad I got to see em live while they were touring.

  18. B.... H....

    this is one sick awesome video that's my boys knox and jkersey they are my homies for life rock on

  19. J.... M....

    Midi never sounded so sterile.

  20. S.... F....

    Rip an amazing band

    S.... F....

    pop music killed them so sad though

  21. I.... I....

    i saw these do their video in Portland OR man it awesome

  22. E.... D....

    Someone wrote listen to Alive like me in a changing room in Portland and that's why I'm here :3

  23. S.... t....

    omg an indefinite hiatus?

    It's very sad... but good luck to you all!

  24. K.... M....

    They aren't even a band anymore because of acacia? Is that true?

    K.... M....

    But what happened then? Still wondering

    K.... M....

    Katy M lol acacia didn't do anything, stop pushing this yoko ono shit on her

    K.... M....

    fourteen I was simply asking a question don't flip your lid

  25. J.... J....

    You guys are amazing I love your music

  26. E.... O....

    Jairus had it made... but Acacia came along. Don't get me wrong, they're cute together, but I wouldn't give up everything for someone that early on in a relationship.

    E.... O....

    he gave the band up because of her ? I remember when they first got together he was still. part of it and had jairuslikeme or something as his user but as time went on he changed it and was spending more time with acacia so I checked and the band didn't post anything for awhile

    E.... O....

    He kind of did.... because he moved out of Oregon and away from the band to live with Acacia in LA.

    E.... O....

    Well they have a child now so I'd say it all worked out, despite missing out on a lot of new music that could've been made

  27. S.... t....

    like it!

  28. D.... L....

    wish they were still together

  29. O.... D....

    These guys sound EXACTLY like d.r.u.g.s

  30. S.... ....

    Do they still sing and make music?

    S.... ....

    Nope, Jairus (lead singer) left the band

    S.... ....

    This band reminds me so much of Youth in Revolt mixed with Hands Like Houses.

    G.... S....

    Gino Simplicio me too

  37. N.... [....

    I like this band...

  38. I.... ....

    when one of the band members lives down the street from your house o.o

  39. K.... K....

    second son anyone?

  40. H.... ....

    This is cool but it just sounds done to death. It's hard to do something that hasn't been done already but there's nothing about their sound that makes me think oh I haven't heard this before.

  41. C.... R....

    Anyone get a Saosin kind of feel with this band?

  42. G.... H....

    am I the only one who thinks jairus and Patty Walters from as it is look kinda alike????

  48. A.... K....

    I used to love this kind of music when i was younger but now I swear its allllll the same and very generic

  49. C.... S....

    They are actually really good. I'm definitely going to keep listening to them.

  50. A.... Y....

  58. I.... B....

    Ice Bear finds good music

  59. P.... ....

    If SWS and PTV had a baby, it would be them ..

    P.... ....

    More like Sws, ptv and I see Stars had a threesome

    P.... ....

    +PierceTheBellybutton my exact thoughts!

    P.... ....

    +Fedra Pichardo why not say they're their own band and not relate them to shitty emo bands

    P.... ....

    Shut the fuck up.

    P.... ....

    I love your username oml

  60. R.... B....

    Acacia brought me here

  61. L.... ....

    here bc of acacia

    L.... ....

    +mila kline me too

  62. D.... W....

    I met these guys on their tour with Sirens and Sailors/ Beartooth last summer. They're such humble and nice guys. Live performance was killer and this entire album is dope. It will be a cool story to tell in 5 years when they're headlining their own tours with the next future crop of alternative music to say I met Jarius and the boys when they were opening small shows and hustling their own merch.

  63. R.... ....

    Gosh damn Acacia why are you so fucking lucky

  64. S.... ....

    Is the title a quote from the goonies?

  65. S.... ....

    Vocals seriously similar to I See Stars.

  66. B.... R....

    maybe they shouldn't try to sound like SWS, music is losing all originality.

  67. K.... A....

    How about they sound like themselves, they might have some sounds that sound like others, But They have there own unique sound gosh

  68. J.... H....

    Dang, this band is good, I can't believe I've never heard of them until now. Does anybody else think they sound a little like old sleeping with sirens, like from their first album?

  69. G.... R....

    I instantly thought of Vic and Kellin when I heard his voice! This band is very talented from what I can see👌🏼

  70. D.... M....

    Give them a FB like! 17K is nowhere near what these guys deseve.

  71. K.... u....

    Saw these guys at warped tour 😭😍

  72. A.... C....

    I got the chance to see these guys at warped tour and fell in love with the music and i got the chance to meet them they were so nice and down to earth im a fan now!! Love them and ladies omg they are so much cuter in person 😍

    A.... C....

    @Ale Castaneda I saw them as well and I feel like they were one of the most underrated bands at Warped tbh, super chill and sound amazing!

    A.... C....

    @Kylie Kitty​ @kiraxoxolove​ i just love them look forward to seeing them again 😃 glad they have other beautiful fans like me lol 💋

    A.... C....

    @Ale Castaneda you are so Lucky !!! I like this song but it Is the first time I listen to it and the band ! Are they famous !?

    A.... C....

    Yes keep listening they have other really good ones 😜

    A.... C....

    Same here!! Jairus was so sweet ahhh

  73. R.... L....

    I CANT WAIT TO SEE THEM LIVE

  74. D.... ....

    damn you sound just like Vic

  75. C.... W....

    CURSE CONFLICTING SET TIMES AT WARPED TOUR

  76. C.... B....

    Why the Vic Fuentes vocal dubs :o jk

  77. K.... M....

    This is a better version of kellin quinn

  78. E.... ....

    Gonna see these guys in two weeks! Can't wait!

  79. n.... �....

    is it me or they kinda sound a little like i see stars too

  80. r.... m....

    q w e r t y u I o p a s d f g h j k l z x c v b n m wath this ABC or formant

  81. r.... m....

    So bord this wath this music puck you im not girl boy

  82. L.... B....

    haha. Sometimes you have to fall before you grow....Sometimes you gotta fall before you fly ~Sws. Even the lyrics sound the same lol but i kinda like it, i guess

  83. T.... P....

    These guys are GOOD. I love it!

  84. r.... ....

    Am I the only person who thinks they sound like a mix of SWS & PTV

    r.... ....

    That is exactly what I think

    r.... ....

    +ryandantinne you know what they really sound like? Alive Like Me! Stop trying to put labels on different bands by comparing them to mainstream music, they have thier own sound.

    r.... ....

    what the guy above me said. and sws and ptv are not even close to good and these guys are great so dont compare them to other horrible bandd

    r.... ....

    Damn people it was just an opinion

    r.... ....

    +ryandantinne yea but about a thousand people have said the same thing

  85. B.... L....

    Did Jesse Lawson write their music too?

  86. J.... F....

    This reminds me of old sleeping with sirens 👌🏻 this band is awesome

  87. k.... ....

    He sounds like vic fuentes and kellin quinn's baby 😀😀 i like a lot

  88. T.... S....

    I saw these guys on the hold on pain ends tour for the color morale and honestly, I'm usually not a fan of opening bands, but wow they were amazing. There so catchy and I really love there lyrics. Really wish I would've bought a CD or something. Also, the lead is SO nice. He had a 10 minute conversation with me and a ton of other people. Love this band so much!

  89. K.... L....

    He sounds like Kellin from SWS I swear

  90. S.... D....

    amazing

  91. -.... D....

    This guy looks like the main char of infamous second son lol

  92. L.... F....

    Derek VanderMay do you know if of machines new cd is out?

  93. K.... W....

    HE SOUNDS LIKE KELLIINNNNN

  94. L.... G....

    I love this song so much, honestly. It relates to me so much with the lyrics "I won't admit this, but I hate it here," and "what they don't know is the place they told me I should never go, was the place I learned to love the most." I think of my life right now and I think about how much I want to escape the world around me, and just discover the places everyone tells me I should never go, it's just amazing. I love it.
