Lyrics: |
I heard you crying Somebody stole your soul How could I be dying? I turned twenty five days ago Yeah, we're all. . . (Chorus) On the ground just, crying out Somebody save me, please! I won't sit around just, thinking 'bout The troubles that tomorrow brings Yeah I'm dyin' to be alive, yeah I'm dyin' to be alive, yeah Let's not go through our lives Without just dyin' to be alive, yeah People you touch, the way you touch them I hope that they've touched you too Cause in this life it's hard to tell What is false and what is true. Yeah we're all. . . On the ground just, crying out Somebody save me, please! I won't sit around just, thinking 'bout The troubles that tomorrow brings Yeah I'm dyin' to be alive, yeah Not tryin' to just survive, yeah Let's not go through our lives Without just dyin' to be alive, yeah And we all come tumbling down No matter how strong, we all return to the ground Another day comes, stay closer to fate Soon you'll find it's a little bit too late Too late, yeah (Guitar Break) Na na na na na na (repeat x6) When you see the way you see That you'll never be seen again Just go through life, livin' on luck Betting ten-thousand and ten, yeah Mistakes I made in this life I can't say why or when But the thing that is strange Is that you only live once I'll never look back again, yeah I'm dyin' to be alive, yeah Not tryin' to just survive, yeah Let's not go through our lives Without just dyin' to be alive, yeah I'm dyin' to be alive, yeah Not tryin' to just survive, yeah Let's not go through our lives Without just dyin' to be alive, yeah And we all come tumbling down No matter how strong, we all return to the ground And the days come saying why did I wait You can't just leave your life up to fate You got to turn it around before it's too late |
