Lyrics
Live While I’m Alive
Verse 1
Morning light through a broken blind
Coffee getting cold while I’m losing time
Dreams on a shelf that I never tried
But the clock keeps turning, and so do I
Pre-Chorus
I’ve been waiting for a perfect day
But perfect days just fade away
Chorus
I’m just trying to live while I’m alive
Breathing in moments that money can’t buy
Laugh when it’s easy, cry when it’s right
I’m just trying to live while I’m alive
I don’t need forever, I just need tonight
A heart that’s open and eyes that are wide
Holding on to whatever survives
I’m just trying to live while I’m alive
Verse 2
Old regrets like shadows on the wall
Some get heavy but they never fall
Still there’s music in the smallest things
Like the sound of hope when a sparrow sings
Pre-Chorus
Maybe the road was never straight
But it’s still a road worth walking anyway
Chorus
I’m just trying to live while I’m alive
Breathing in moments that money can’t buy
Laugh when it’s easy, cry when it’s right
I’m just trying to live while I’m alive
I don’t need forever, I just need tonight
A heart that’s open and eyes that are wide
Holding on to whatever survives
I’m just trying to live while I’m alive
Bridge
Maybe the world won’t slow down for me
Maybe the answers won’t come easy
But every sunrise that I survive
Reminds me I’m still alive
Final Chorus
I’m just trying to live while I’m alive
Feeling the fire that burns inside
Love like tomorrow may never arrive
I’m just trying to live while I’m alive
No map, no promise, just this ride
One fragile heartbeat at a time
If this is all that life can provide
I’m just trying to live while I’m alive
