You're Alive

Paula woke up at dawn
‘Cus she knew she couldn’t stay
Packed her things in a canvas bag
Started driving to L. A
I once heard it’s said
You’re defined by what you leave
She didn’t know about that
She just needed more room to breathe
You’re alive (x5)
Can you feel yourself lifting up
As your heart is catching fire
You’re alive (x5)
Feet are floating off the ground
As the lights begin to shine
Jimmy knew his time was short
Just another year or two
The doctors did everything they could
But his heart won’t see him through
He’d take the midnight train
As the suburbs gently slept
Into the clubs and city bars
Where he’d dance until there’s nothing left
You’re alive (x5)
Can you feel yourself lifting up
As your heart is catching fire
You’re alive (x5)
Feet are floating off the ground
As the lights begin to shine
Break the promises you’ve made
Waste your nights and burn your days
Close your eyes and fall away
We are above the dark streets
Distant church bells start to ring
Break your heart and set you free
You’re alive (x5)
Can you feel yourself lifting up
As your heart is catching fire
You’re alive (x5)
Feet are floating off the ground
As the lights begin to shine
