What We Stay Alive For
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.
Every street that's paved with apprehension
Is filling me with good intentions
All the doubt that I still hold is getting old
Like every single place that we've outgrown
I'm made to be this reflection of nothing
But something is starting to show
Looking up I see the sun in my eyes
I feel it getting warmer as the darkness dies
And I pray every day that you feel this way
Can you hear me when I say you're not alone?
Lost my way
Couldn't find the water in the rain
They say everything looks different because
I'm made to be this reflection of nothing
But something is starting to show
Looking up I see the sun in my eyes
I feel it getting warmer as the darkness dies
And I pray every day that you will feel this way
Can you hear me when I say you're not alone?
Don't need a crutch to walk away
I won't buckle from the weight
Of the words you say
'Cause I'm getting stronger
Don't need a crutch to walk away
I won't buckle from the weight
Every day my stride's getting longer
Looking up I see the sun in my eyes
I feel it getting warmer as the darkness dies
I pray every day that you will feel this way
Can you hear me when I say you're not
Looking up I see the sun in my eyes
I feel it getting warmer as the darkness dies
I pray every day that you will feel this way
Can you hear me when I say you're not alone?
You are not alone
You are not alone
You are not alone
