about

"I wanted to rediscover that powerful energy I had as a kid, I was the biggest showoff. That simple rush of climbing a tree to impress a girl, showing everyone the moonwalk, landing the perfect kickflip on my skateboard, or attempting to jump off the roof to see if I could fly like Superman (thankfully my Mom stopped me on that one). I want to believe in myself, and see the world as I once did through the eyes of 10 year old me. This song is full of playful nostalgia, and a reminder to not take ourselves so seriously. "

- Alexander Saint

lyrics

’m such a damn showoff, showoff
Especially when it comes to you
I’d walk through a wall of fire, or swim through sharks like a fool
Cause I can’t get enough of your grin when, I jump off the roof
When you rush to my side with a band-aid, it just makes me feel good

I never knew how to put my emotions into words that could accurately describe
The kind of high that I get when I see you slowly pass me by
I’d run to the highest mountain just to catch your eye
Or at least fail trying

I’m such a damn showoff, showoff
Especially when it comes to you
I’d walk through a wall of fire, or swim through sharks like a fool
Cause I can’t get enough of your grin when, I jump off the roof
When you rush to my side with a band-aid, it just makes me feel good

Sticks, stones and broken bones ain’t nothing to me, I promise I’m fine
For a chance of a glance from you, I’d gladly swallow my pride
I’d fall from the highest tower just to catch your eye
Or at least fail trying

I’m such a damn showoff, showoff
Especially when it comes to you
I’d walk through a wall of fire, or swim through sharks like a fool
Cause I can’t get enough of your grin when, I jump off the roof
When you rush to my side with a band-aid, it just makes me feel good
