I Lived
Caleb and Kelsey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hope when you take that jump, you don't fear the fall
Hope when the water rises, you built a wall
Hope when the crowd screams out, they're screaming your name
Hope if everybody runs, you choose to stay

Hope that you fall in love, and it hurts so bad
The only way you can know is give it all you have
And I hope that you don't suffer but take the pain
Hope when the moment comes, you'll say...

I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places, the things that I did
With every broken bone, I swear I lived

Hope that you spend your days, but they all add up
And when that sun goes down, hope you raise your cup
Oh, I wish that I could witness all your joy and all your pain
But until my moment comes, I'll say...

I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places, the things that I did
With every broken bone, I swear I lived

Oh With every broken bone, I swear I lived.
With every broken bone, I swear I...

I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places, the things that I did
With every broken bone, I swear I lived.





Oh I swear I lived. Ohhh

I’m a guy who lost his dad when I was 20 and I hear his cheerful voice through this song everytime I hear itπŸ’™πŸ’™ makes me feel like he’s talking to me after a bad week and a song like this makes me smile and tear up, but it also makes me smile about how amazing his life was and how much he smiled. I miss you dad
