"Still" lyrics

[SPENCER:]
You face the fire, but live to see today
I know you're tired of trying to push through all the pain
There's only ash now where I used to be
You think there's nothing left, but there's a lot — trust me

I know it's not the life you planned
The life you dreamed it began
But this is what, this is what is
And what is, is all you've got:

There's still the light
There's still the sky
There's still the leaves that rustle in the breeze
Still days to spend
Still hands to hold
You still have the time, you still have the breath
You still run away from death
But everybody dies, so while you're still alive, live
While you're still alive, live

It seems they're gone when someone dies
We change into forms that you don't recognize
I stay alive inside your memory
In a photographs, I'm in all you see

I know I'm not the son you dreamed
The son you hoped that I would be
And I was not the son you thought
But I was the son you got

Still standing here
Still close to you
Still want the chance to cheer you when you dance
Still counting days
Still holding hands
You still have the time, you still have the breath
So why run away from death?
Yes, everybody dies, so while you're still alive...

Live, live big and full and deep
And when you cry, let yourself weep
And when you laugh, laugh like hell
And when you're mad, go 'head and yell
Really take in all you see
Every person that you'll ever meet
In the time left in your life, why not truly be
Alive?

There's still the leaves that rustle in the breeze
Still days to spend
Still hands to hold

[SPENCER (JESSE):]
You still have the time, you still have the breath (I still have the time, I still have the breath)
So don't run away from death (So don't run away from death)

[SPENCER:]
Yes, everybody dies
So while you're still alive...

[JESSE:]
Yes, everybody dies
So while I'm still alive
Live...
