Lyrics

Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
There's a train at the station
That's ready to leave
And a perfect future just made for me
I had this stranger walk into my life
Stepped out of the darkness back into the light
I know I'm crazy but just a little sane
I get to take this ride again
You give me hope
When I wake up
To lift my head high
And take what's mine
We look for laughter in the madness
You give me hope and you give me life
Will you let me breathe now
While I find my truth
If I love myself don't mean I don't love you
All of my chances are in my hand
Stepped out of the darkness
Found out who I am
I know I'm crazy but just a little sane
I get to take this ride again
You give me hope
When I wake up
To lift my head high
And take what's mine
We look for laughter in the madness
You give me hope and you give me life
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na
You give me life
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na
You give me life
Well I don't know who I am
When I'm lost in you
When I'm under the water
(Under the water)
When I'm under the water
I look to you
You know I do
I look to you
And the water is gone
You give me hope
When I wake up
To lift my head high
And take what's mine
We look for laughter in the madness
You give me hope and you give me life
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Oh
You give me life
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na
You give me life
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Oh
You give me life
