"to be alive" lyrics

"to be alive"

There's a quiet at night
And it's messin' with time
'Til I'm something else
And I'm watchin' the sky
So constant and wise
Oh, I hold myself

I wanna stay up late, I'm young again
I'm gonna keep the light on
I'm gonna lose my mind
Talk to my old imaginary friend
'Bout what it's like to be alive

There are thoughts in our heads
Lying with us in bed
And we wonder why
We see stars when they're gone
Or we lose what we love
Hold on
Oh, we try

I wanna stay up late, I'm young again
I'm gonna keep the light on
I'm gonna lose my mind
Talk to my old imaginary friend
'Bout what it's like to be alive

And my room is a rocket
(I am floating)
Falling to Mars
(In a cup of)
My hands in my pockets
(Water by my bed)
Are spillin' the stars
My walls fall away
(I am under-)
And turn into red
(-neath the covers)
Flying in my head

I wanna stay up late, I'm young again
I'm gonna keep the light on
I'm gonna lose my mind
Talk to my old imaginary friend
'Bout what it's like to be alive
