Alive

I walked up to the church with no shoes on

To look at the moon and I listened to 'Your Song'

And I tried not to cry

'Cause I didn't want to give it away in my eyes when you came

Round the corner looking like a child in the dark

You're so small, like you've never done harm or anything at all

Face lit up by the screen then you said it's getting cold

And I didn't want to scream

Can you see how I'm trying?

Out on the street

Everything I promised you I would not be

And I can't stop taking it hard

And waiting for something better to start

And I am gonna feel alive someday for the first time

Tonight it'll rain hard enough for the water to

Seep through the cracks in the roof of the train

I'll sit by the gap and open my mouth

And when it's all over I'll still feel the same

And I have lost my mind trying to jump at something that's never been mine

And I'm gonna try, and I'm gonna try again

Because I can't stand the silence of a finished sentence

And I am gonna feel alive someday for the first time

And I am gonna feel alive someday for the first time

And I am gonna feel alive someday for the first time

And I am gonna feel alive someday for the first time

(You felt the poison coming up my throat)

(Then you kissed me so it would have nowhere to go)

And I am gonna feel alive someday for the first time

(You felt the poison coming up my throat)

(Yeah, you felt the poison coming up my throat) I am gonna feel alive

(Yeah, you felt the poison coming up my throat) I am gonna feel alive

(Yeah, you felt the poison coming up my throat) I am gonna feel alive

(Yeah, you felt the poison coming up my throat) I am gonna feel alive

(Yeah, you felt the poison coming up my throat) I am gonna feel alive

(Yeah, you felt the poison coming up my throat) I am gonna feel alive

Then you kissed me so it would have nowhere to go)
