"Thrive" lyrics
"Thrive"
Been fighting things that I can't see in
Like voices coming from the inside of me and
Like doing things I find hard to believe in
Am I myself or am I dreaming?
I've been awake for an hour or so
Checking for a pulse but I just don't know
Am I man when I feel like ghost?
The stranger in the mirror is wearing my clothes
No, I'm not alright
I know that I'm not right
A steering wheel don't mean you can drive
A warm body don't mean I'm alive
No, I'm not alright
I know that I'm not right
It feels like I travel but I never arrive
I wanna thrive, not just survive
I come alive when I hear you singing
But lately I haven't been hearing a thing and
I get the feeling that I'm in between
A machine and a man who only looks like me
I try and hide it and not let it show
But deep down inside me I just don't know
Am I man when I feel like a hoax?
The stranger in the mirror is wearing my clothes
No, I'm not alright
I know that I'm not right
A steering wheel don't mean you can drive
A warm body don't mean I'm alive
No, I'm not alright
I know that I'm not right
It feels like I travel but I never arrive
I wanna thrive, not just survive
I'm always close but I'm never enough
I'm always in line but I'm never in love
I get so down but I won't give up
I get slowed down but I won't give up
Been fighting things that I can't see in
Like voices coming from the inside of me and
Like doing things I find hard to believe in
Am I myself or am I dreaming?
Am I myself or am I dreaming?
Am I myself or am I dreaming?
Thrive
No, I'm not alright
I know that I'm not right
A steering wheel don't mean you can drive
A warm body don't mean I'm alive
No, I'm not alright
I know that I'm not right
It feels like I travel but I never arrive
I wanna thrive, not just survive
I wanna thrive not just survive
I wanna thrive not just survive
Feels like I travel but I never arrive
I wanna thrive not just survive

Citizens & Saints - "Day By Day" Even when I'm at my worst
I am still of righteous birth
Covered by a saving grace
Past, present, future debt erased
My heart is changing day by day

Coldplay - "Swallowed In The Sea" You cut me down a tree
And brought it back to me
And that's what made me see
Where I was going wrong
You put me on a shelf
And kept me for yourself
I can only blame myself
You can only blame me
And...
City And Colour - "Hello, I'm In Delaware" So there goes my life
Passing by with every exit sign
It's been so long
Sometimes I wonder how I will stay strong
No sleep tonight
I'll keep on driving these dark highway lines
And as the moon...
WALK THE MOON - "Iscariot" Until now, I knew this of myself
That if you had thrown yourself down
Into the lion's den
My brother, I'd follow you in
Perhaps I lack some foresight (Should have known)
But, brother, you were so...
Brooke Fraser - "May Waltz" I've got a mind to take you away
To some white sand and a palm tree parade
I've got a mind to take you away
I've got a mind to go
I've got a smile that's only for you
Exchanged in secret, the way...
