Lyrics

I Will Survive

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I can get by without electricity

So you don't need to lend me money

I'm out most of the day

And it's not long before I get paid

If you're cold, hungry

Put on a coat

I've bread (?)

You can't tell if it's toast

You're always welcome to crash on my floor

There's no key or lock for the door

I know what it looks like

And I can tell you're not impressed

I don't know what I'm doing

But it's feeling like success

A pile of clothes, just been laundered

Drying damp in a bag on the corner

I'd love some tea, but you won't find a cup

I've been using this saucepan to avoid washing up

You're cold and hungry

Put on a coat

I've bread (?)

You can tell it's not toast

You're always welcome to crash on my floor

There's no key or lock for the door

I don't know what I'm doing

But it's feeling like success

Life is what you make it

And I've made mine a mess

Sunlight comes in a few hours a day

But only I see it, 'cause no one's awake

On the floor, strangers starting to surface

Ashtrays and coffee cups sharing a purpose

I'm young and nothing can harm me

I've sold all my records to pay for a party

I'm still drunk, but that's alright

I've been staying out every night

You're always welcome to crash on my floor

There's no key or lock for the door

I'm ignoring my grown-up problems as

I've got no idea how to solve them

I will survive

(I will survive)

I will survive

(I will survive)

I will survive

(I will survive)

I will survive

(I will survive)

I will survive
