Alive - Pete Yorn

Sometimes it’s pain

Sometimes it’s hollow

Never the same

It’ll change you tomorrow

The sadness

Doesn’t matter when it’s gone

Girl in a red dress

Passes you by

A hurried deception

Gleam to her eye

Like the weather

Will not hurt her when she’s wrong

You say you feel all broke and discarded

What’s on your mind, baby?

You know you’ll get on well once you’ve started

Over again

This day is alive

This day is alive

This day is alive

Take another chance if a turn for disaster is the best thing for you

Oh, the difference is the lies I’ve told are true

Do not tell your father the thoughts you’ve been thinking

They’ll burn him too long

After all, it’s the dream that holds up the sun

Yeah, you want to have something that’s real

Well, give it some time, baby

You’re all wrapped in the words you’re repeating over again

This day is alive

(This day is alive)

This day is alive

(This day is alive)

This day is alive

So now you tell me what you’re gonna do to me

You got a lot on your mind, baby

You got so much that’ll get through to me

Without telling me lies

You say you wanna stand up for something, alright…

What’s on your mind, baby

Oh, you could stand here for nothing

Or start it again Start it again

This day is alive

(This day is alive)

This moment will pass you by

This day is ours, don’t let it die (Die)

Don’t let it die (Die) Don’t let it die
