[Verse 1]
When we were young, we used to live so close to it
And we were scared and we were beautiful
And when I peered over the edge and seen death
If we are always the same

[Interlude]
Oh, and I feel that nothing in life could ever be like this again
'Cause your love kept me alive and made me insane

[Pre-Chorus]
There wеre moments when it seemеd okay
To this moment, oh, where do you stay?
(I go back alone)
There was a time when the music would play
(I go back alone)

[Chorus]
Oh, baby, every morning there are mountains to climb
Taking all my time
Oh, when I get up, this is what I see
Welcome to reality
Oh, baby, every morning there are mountains to climb
Taking all my time
Oh, when I get up, this is what I see
Welcome to reality

[Verse 2]
When we were young, we used to live so close to it
And we were scared that you were beautiful
And when I peered over the edge and seen death
If we are always the same, oh, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
There were moments when it seemed okay
(But I go back alone)
To this wall, oh, where do you stay?
(I go back alone, I go back alone)

[Chorus]
Oh, baby, every morning there are mountains to climb
Taking all my time
Oh, when I get up, this is what I see
Welcome to reality
Oh, baby, every morning there are mountains to climb
Taking all my time
Oh, when I get up, this is what I see
Welcome to reality

Marika Hackman

Marika Hackman is an English singer-songwriter, born in Hampshire in 1992.

Marika’s music is predominantly led by her acoustic guitar, which she began to learn by herself at the age of twelve. Her lyrics are dark and often focus on twisted, anatomical imagery to convey feelings of love. Her vocal delivery is restrained and often very quiet, which serves to intensity the alluring discomfort of her material.

Hackman works mainly with English producer Charlie Andrew, known for his work with English Alternative Rock band alt-j. Hackman is credited as a guest vocalist on the band’s song “Warm Foothills” and sings the final verse and refrain of their song “Last Year”.
