"To Be Alive" lyrics

Sunset on main street
I've wasted the light again
On painting the staircase
To somebody else's dream
I'm tired of waking up
Cursing my yesterdays
Oh, next time I see my reflection
I'll tell myself

To run till my lungs are breathless
Till this city looks like a memory
I wanna know what it means to be alive
I wanna know what it means to be alive
'Cause only the moment matters
Yeah, the future might never happen
I wanna know what it means to be alive
I wanna know what it means to be alive

So burn all these bridges behind me
What's left to lose?
I've always been tripping
In somebody else's shoes
So farewell my old self
It's high time I try to be
The voice in my head that keeps screaming
And begging me

To run till my lungs are breathless
Till this city looks like a memory
I wanna know what it means to be alive
I wanna know what it means to be alive
'Cause only the moment matters
Yeah, the future might never happen
I wanna know what it means to be alive
I wanna know what it means to be alive

To be alive
To be alive
To be alive

So I'm gonna run till my lungs are breathless
Till this city looks like a memory
I wanna know what it means to be alive
Yeah, I wanna know what it means to be alive
Only the moment matters
Yeah, the future might never happen
I wanna know what it means to be alive
I wanna know what it means to be alive
To be alive
To be alive

I wanna know, I wanna know
What it means to be alive
