lyrics

I walked up to the church with no shoes on
To look at the moon and I listened to 'Your Song'
And I tried not to cry
‘Cause I didn’t want to give it away in my eyes when you came
Round the corner looking like a child in the dark
You’re so small like you’ve never done harm or anything at all
Face lit up by the screen
Then you said it’s getting cold
And I didn’t want to scream
Can you see how I'm trying?
Out on the street
Everything I promised you I would not be
And I can’t stop taking it hard
And waiting for something better to start

And I am gonna feel alive someday for the first time
I am gonna feel alive someday for the first time

Tonight it’ll rain hard enough for the water
To seep through the cracks in the roof of the train
I’ll sit by the gap and open my mouth
And when it’s all over I’ll still feel the same

And I have lost my mind tryna jump at something that’s never been mine
And I'm gonna try, and I'm gonna try again
Because I can’t stand the silence of a finished sentence

And I am gonna feel alive someday for the first time
I am gonna feel alive someday for the first time
I am gonna feel alive someday for the first time
I am gonna feel alive someday for the first time

(You felt the poison coming up my throat
Then you kissed me so it would have nowhere to go)
