Alive
{ words & music by Simon Spire }
*
I fell into
The deep blue sea that’s drowning all of me
No turning back
Fell, I drowned, I felt for
All this time I’ve been wondering
What it is I’m missing
All this time to find what’s
Right before my eyes
*
I’m breathing, I’m alive for the first time now in a long time
I’m feeling I’m alive, feel a little life on the inside
*
Forget before
Nothing’s heavy anymore I
Left it all in deserts where I’ve been for
All this time I’ve been wondering
What it is I’m missing
All this time to find what’s
Right before my eyes
*
I’m breathing, I’m alive for the first time now in a long time
I’m feeling I’m alive, feel a little life on the inside
I’m breathing, I’m alive for the first time now in a long time
I’ve waited all this time just to feel a little life on the inside
*
Standing on the edge at last I’m
Breathing just for the first time
Been waiting here for
All this time I’ve been
Futilely looking for the next stop
All this time to find what’s
Right before my eyes
What am I to think now
Everything I knew but wasn’t real is
Here at last, dumbstruck, it’s all here waiting
Unassumingly
*
I’m breathing, I’m alive for the first time now in a long time
I’m feeling I’m alive, feel a little life on the inside
I’m breathing, I’m alive for the first time now in a long time
I’ve waited all this time just to feel a little life on the inside
