Lyrics

Alive

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.

Maybe you talk too high, man

Maybe I talk too slow

But you've got to live a little bit faster

'Cause you've got a little less time to go

I ain't lost and I ain't searching

But then you know me very well

And I can't change the wind and make it blow the other way

I'm a fool and I can tell

That I'm alive and that's all

That I can get up just as fast as I fall

And I can walk and run but I'll never crawl

And in the end it doesn't matter at all

I don't know about the people that I read about in books

And the kings and queens around my room with their quiet dirty looks

I know I should be going somewhere, I just can't arrive

There's a reason for believing that I've never been alive, alive

I ain't lost and I ain't searching

But then you know me very well

And I can't change the world and make it go the other way

I'm a fool and I can tell

That I'm alive and that's all

That I can get up just as fast as I fall

And I can walk and run but I'll never crawl

And in the end it doesn't matter at all

I don't know about the people that I read about in books

And the kings and queens around my room with their quiet dirty looks

I know I should be going somewhere, I just can't arrive

There's a reason for believing that I've never been alive

I know I should be going somewhere I just can't arrive

There's a reason for believing that I've never been alive, alive, alive
