To Be Alive lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sunset on Main Street
I've wasted the light again
On painting the staircase
To somebody else's dream
I'm tired of wakin' up
Cursin' my yesterdays
Oh, next time I see my reflection
I'll tell myself

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
So burn all these bridges behind me
What's left to lose?
I've always been trippin'
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 screamin'
And beggin' me
[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
To be alive
To be alive
To be alive

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
To be alive
To be alive
[Outro]
I wanna know, I wanna know
What it means to be alive
