I’m Alive
Michael Franti Spearhead Lyrics

Everybody wants me to be who they want me to be except you
Everyone wants me to conform to their expectations, except for you. Only being with you makes me happy.

All I wanna do is be with you
Being with you is the only thing that matters to me.

They all tell me that there’s something strange
Other people think that there's something unusual or wrong with me.

I don’t wanna met nobody new
I have no interest in meeting new people because being with you is all I need.

Life sounds like I’m alive (x6) (This is what it sounds like) Whoa-oh-oh, I’m alive
Life is full of ups and downs, but despite it all, I can hear my heart beating and know that I'm alive and wanting to be with you.

How come every day something jumps in the way Gets complicated, I feel devastated
Every day, there's always something that complicates my life and makes me feel anxious or upset.

But when I’m feeling down, I only wanna be with you
When all else fails and I'm feeling low, being with you is the one thing that can lift me up.

I can’t afford the rent or remember checks I sent To pay off all my taxes and feed the president
I'm struggling financially and even forget to pay my bills or taxes, but despite this, I still only want to be with you.

But there’s one thing I remember, I only wanna be with you
Despite all my worries, what's most important to me is being with you.

(Break it down right here now) You be Bonnie, I’ll be your Clyde Hop into my car and drive like Fireworks, we will ignite Through the San Francisco night Like John and Yoko Like Ice-T and Coco Like Jay-Z, Beyonce Come be my fiance
Let's be like iconic couples throughout history and create our own love story. Come commit to me and we'll drive into the night together.

Hey soul sister, I’ll be your mister Don’t wanna be no one-night stand How many ways can I say to help you understand That I only wanna be your man
Let me be your partner in life, not just someone for a night. How can I convince you that I want to be with you for the long haul?

Life sounds like Whoa-oh-oh (This is what it sounds like) Whoa-oh-oh And it sounds like I’m alive (x6) (This is what it sounds like) Whoa-oh-oh, I’m alive
Life is about experiencing different emotions and feelings, but what's most important is being alive and knowing that I want to be with you.

Bring it back one more time Everybody wants me to be who they want me to be except you All I wanna do is be with you
Let's go back to the beginning - everyone expects something from me, but all I really want is to be with you.

Life sounds like Whoa-oh-oh (This is what it sounds like) Whoa-oh-oh Life sounds like, like, like I’m alive (x6) (This is what it sounds like) Whoa-oh-oh, I’m alive
Life is full of different sounds, but what it really sounds like is being alive and wanting to be with the one you love.
