I Want To Live

Sometimes I feel like I need

To shake myself

To wake myself

I feel like I'm just sleepwalkin'

Through my life

It's like I'm swimming in

An ocean of emotion

But still somehow slowly

Going numb inside

I don't like who I'm becomin'

I know I've gotta do somethin'

Before my life passes right by

I want to cry like the rain

Cry like the rain

Shine like sun on a beautiful mornin'

Sing to the heavens like the church bells ringin'

Fight with the devil and go down swingin'

Fly like a bird, roll like a stone

Love like I ain't afraid to be alone

Take everything that this world has to give

I want to live

Sometimes I wonder

Why I work so hard to guard my heart

Till I hardly feel anything at all

I've spent my whole life building up this ivory tower

And now that I'm in it, I keep wishing it would fall

So I could feel the ground beneath me

Really taste the air I'm breathin'

And know that I'm alive

I want to cry like the rain

Cry like the rain

Shine like sun on a beautiful mornin'

Sing to the heavens like the church bells ringin'

Fight with the devil and go down swingin'

Fly like a bird, roll like a stone

Love like I ain't afraid to be alone

Take everything that this world has to give

I want to live

Something deep inside

Keeps saying

Life is like a vapor

Its gone in just a twinklin' of an eye

I want to cry like the rain

Cry like the rain

Shine like sun on a beautiful mornin'

Sing to the heavens like the church bells ringin'

Fight with the devil and go down swingin'

Fly like a bird, roll like a stone

Love like I ain't afraid to be alone

Take everything that this world has to give

I want to live

I want to take every

Breath I can get

I want to live

Yeah, yeah
