"I Lived" lyrics

"I Lived"

Hope when you take that jump, you don't fear the fall
Hope when the water rises, you built a wall
Hope when the crowd screams out, it's screaming your name
Hope if everybody runs, you choose to stay

Hope that you fall in love, and it hurts so bad
The only way you can know is give it all you have
And I hope that you don't suffer but take the pain
Hope when the moment comes, you'll say...

I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places, the things that I did
With every broken bone, I swear I lived

Hope that you spend your days, but they all add up
And when that sun goes down, hope you raise your cup
Oh, I wish that I could witness all your joy and all your pain
But until my moment comes, I'll say...

I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places, the things that I did
With every broken bone, I swear I lived

Oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

With every broken bone, I swear I lived
With every broken bone, I swear I...

I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places, the things that I did
With every broken bone, I swear I lived

Oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I swear I lived
Oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

"I Lived" is the sixth single from the album. It initially had been planned that this would be the fifth single with the release in January 2014, but "Love Runs Out" was chosen instead at the time.
In an interview with People magazine, frontman Ryan Tedder said, "The whole idea, to quote the late great Robin Williams from Dead Poets Society, is very much 'carpe diem'."
The video for "I Lived" was dedicated to a 15-year-old fan of the band, Bryan Warnecke, who suffered from cystic fibrosis.
