Alive

Feels like a couple years ago
Good as gold, no sign of snow - let’s go!
No way, just another day
Gonna say hey to every which way
This year’s just a minute of the life
Gotta see the sky and try and try to fly.
Feel a little bit of music in my soul
But what’s it gonna take to make it all feel whole?

And you just keep on singin’ the same old song
Over and over
And I’m still tryin’ to make it through the days
Without dyin’

I just wanna feel alive
For this one time in my life
I wanna feel important
I don’t care if it’s a lie
And there’s a buzzin’ in my brain
Says, ‘It’s getting kinda late’
But, I don’t wanna go home…

It’s pretty cool how memories never fade
No matter the case.
Things don’t happen on their own.
Times change
People grow
Before you know it
Ya gotta go…

Look to the ocean and smile, smile
Let it sink in for a while, while
When you are gone, I’ll just cry, cry
But eventually, we all die, die.

I’m a-starin’ to the sky
Asking God if he knows why
The day’s gotta end
‘Cause I’ll be missin’ you, my friend
The clock’s just flying ‘round again
Now it’s driving me insane
And it’s time to go back home…
