"Alive" lyrics

You once told me that the only truth in life is still in hiding
Ain't that a laugh
That I might find it if I die trying
Somewhere beyond the time I can't get back

Is it a spirit? Is it a mantra?
To be the hero long enough to be a monster
Is it a feeling or just good karma?
To be the one before some seven-figure comma
Ooooh

If I don't go, how will I ever know how much I need ya'?
And if we lose ourselves somewhere between the lines
Then we might find what it really means to feel alive

Sometimes it's easy to fade away, bury all my senses
Ain't that a laugh?
When the truth is I pretend to live behind rose-coloured lenses
Ain't that a laugh?

Is it a spirit? Is it a mantra?
To be the hero long enough to be a monster
Is it a feeling or just good karma?
To be the one before some seven-figure comma
Ooooh

If I don't go, how will I ever know how much I need ya'?
And if we lose ourselves somewhere between the lines
Then we might find what it really means to feel alive

Maybe it's a dive in to the unknown
Maybe it's a never-ending game we play alone
Maybe it's a dive in to the unknown
Maybe it's a never-ending game we play alone
Are we alone?
Ooooh

If I don't go, how will I ever know how much I need ya'?
And if we lose ourselves somewhere between the lines
Oh we might find what it really means to feel alive
Show me what it means to be alive

Show me how it feels to be alive
Show me how it feels to be alive
