I'm Alive
Lance & Linton Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Woke up barely breathing
A black cloud over me
Cause my heart took a beating
From all the misery
I spoke to the voices in my head
To keep them satisfied
I taught the mind leaving
Until the day I die

I′m alive
I might be losing my mind
Set the city on fire tonight
I'm alive
And with my heart in my throat
I′ll let everyone know I'm fine
I'm alive

I′m alive
I might be losing my mind
Set the city on fire tonight
I′m alive

I took my life for granted
How could I be so wrong
Cause life is just what happens
When you're not holding on
I′ve had a reaction of silence
I've tasted paradise
Yeah, I felt every feeling
And I′m still breathing fine

I'm alive
I might be losing my mind
Set the city on fire tonight
I′m alive
And with my heart in my throat
I'll let everyone know I'm fine
I′m alive

I′m alive
I might be losing my mind
Set the city on fire tonight
I'm alive

I′m alive
I might be losing my mind
Set the city on fire tonight
I'm alive
And with my heart in my throat

I′ll let everyone know I'm fine
I′m alive
