Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm like a child looking off on the horizon
I'm like an ambulance that's turning on the sirens
Oh, I'm still alive
I'm like a soldier coming home for the first time
I dodged a bullet and I walked across a land mine
Oh, I'm still alive
[PreChorus]
Am I bleeding?
Am I bleeding from the storm?
Just shine a light into the wreckage
So far away, away
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm still breathing
'Cause I'm still breathing on my own
My head's above the rain and roses
Making my way, a way
'Cause I'm still breathing
'Cause I'm still breathing on my own
My head's above the rain and roses
Making my way, a way
My way to you
[Verse 2]
I'm like a junkie tying off for the last time
I'm like a loser that's betting on his last dime
Oh, I'm still alive
I'm like a son that was raised without a father
I'm like a mother barely keeping it together
Oh, I'm still alive
[PreChorus]
Am I bleeding?
Am I bleeding from the storm?
Just shine a light into the wreckage
So far away, away
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm still breathing
'Cause I'm still breathing on my own
My head's above the rain and roses
Making my way, a way
'Cause I'm still breathing
'Cause I'm still breathing on my own
My head's above the rain and roses
Making my way, a way, a way
[Bridge]
As I walked out on the ledge
Are you scared to death to live?
I've been running all my life
Just to find a home that's for the restless
And the truth that's in the message
Making my way, a way, a way
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm still breathing
'Cause I'm still breathing on my own
My head's above the rain and roses
Making my way, a way
'Cause I'm still breathing
'Cause I'm still breathing on my own
My head's above the rain and roses
Making my way, a way
'Cause I'm still breathing (My way to you)
'Cause I'm still breathing on my own (My way to you)
My head's above the rain and roses
Making my way, a way
My way to you
