At the end of 2016, Hayley celebrated the release of her major-label debut EP CITRINE, which included pop confections "Pretty Girl" and "Palace", by launching her nationwide "One Bad Night Tour". The completely sold-out headline tour saw Hayley performing her new music for her passionate and devoted fans in cities throughout the US. According to Baeble, Hayley "managed to turn a sold out Studio at Webster Hall into an intimate dance party for everyone to feel free in a safe zone."
Following singles including "Sleepover", "Feelings", and "Curious" have been released to accompany her debut studio album Expectations, which was released on March 30, 2018. The album reached the top 20 of the charts in United States, Canada and Australia. She has also created a comic book, with the help of Naomi Franquiz and Marla Vazquez, based on her song "Gravel to Tempo".
Kiyoko was a founding member of The Stunners in 2007. The group supported Justin Bieber's My World Tour, before disbanding in 2011.
Kiyoko was born to figure skater/choreographer Sarah Kawahara and actor/comedian Jamie Alcroft. Her mother is from Canada and her father is from Ohio, USA.
Given It All
Hayley Kiyoko Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's to make it on a tight rope
I'm not falling, I'm not crawling
You can play me, life for trying
I'm not foolish, I will get you
Tear the walls down, don't be stupid
Meet me halfway to your heart
And I'll break you, till I break through
(X2)
Given it all to you
I've given it all to you
I've given it all to you
I've given it all to you
I've given it all to you
It's got me closer, to the water
We should set sail, to the border
Tear the walls down, don't be stupid
Meet me halfway to your heart
Let the sun rise when it's done, yeah
And I'll break you, till I break through
(X2)
Given it all to you
I've given it all to you
I've given it all to you
I've given it all to you
I've given it all to you

Let the sun rise when it's done, yeah
Let the sun rise when it's done, yeah
You can play me, life for trying
I'm not foolish, I will get you

Given it all to you
I've given it all to you
I've given it all to you
I've given it all to you
I've given it all to you

Si lo hago en una cuerda floja
No estoy cayendo, no estoy rastreando
No puedes culparme, no por intentar
No soy tonto, te atraparé.
Desgarra las paredes,
No seas estúpido,
Encuéntrame a medio camino de tu corazón.
Deja que el sol salga,
Cuando amanece
Y te romperé,
Hasta que rompo
Te lo he dado todo [x8]
Y me tiene ...
Más cerca del agua,
Debemos zarpar a la frontera
Desgarra las paredes,
No seas estúpido,
Encuéntrame a medio camino de tu corazón.
Deja que el sol salga,
Cuando amanece
Y te romperé,
Hasta que rompo
Te lo he dado todo [x8]
Y me tiene abajo ...
Deja que el sol salga,
Cuando amanece
Deja que el sol salga,
Cuando amanece
No puedes culparme, no por intentar
No soy tonto, te conseguiré
Deja que el sol salga,
Cuando amanece
Y te romperé,
Hasta que rompo
Deja que el sol salga,
Cuando amanece
Y te romperé,
Hasta que rompo
Te lo he dado todo [x8]
