Dying To Live
Joel Piper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you hear my heart?
Can you read my brain?
Isn't life just strange?
It's an insane world
And we're a little bit crazy
Love can be simple
We can have something amazing
If we fight for something real
If we learn how to forgive
I'd sell my heart out just to feel
Yea I'm dying to live, dying to live
Love you til it hurts
Never be insensitive
With my life and with my words
Yea I'm dying to live, dying to live for you you you
If I could hold the wind
If I could pull the sea
Calm the storm inside
Would your heart be free?
Let the raindrops fall
Wash away your fears
Love can save your life
Let's surrender it all right here
If we fight for something real
If we learn how to forgive
I'd sell my heart out just to feel
Yea I'm dying to live, dying to live
Love you til it hurts
Never be insensitive
With my life and with my words
Yea I'm dying to live, dying to live for you
It's not that love has to be tragic
Don't wanna die
I wanna live
I wanna give, give, give, to you
Romeo and Juliet they had it all wrong
But you and I will carry on
If we fight for something real
If we learn how to forgive
I'd sell my heart out just to feel
Yea I'm dying to live, dying to live
Love you til it hurts
Never be insensitive
With my life and with my words
Yea I'm dying to live, dying to live for you
Woah I'm dying to live
Woah oh oh
I want to live, I want to live, I want to
I'm dying to live, dying to live (x3)
I want to live, I want to live, I want to live
