To Be Alive - Brother & Bones

Take your chances

Past forgiveness

Past the old days drink to new

Drown your sorrows until they learn to swim

Start the engine

Stop your caring

Get your bearings make your move

Until those old deaf ears, oh how they’ll fall on you

See, the problem

Is the blindness

That you carry like a cross and

The solution is the darkness that you’re in

Time to focus

Time to realise

Your heart might be the boss

But your head will stop the sides from caving in

Now you’re a ghost in this town and still so hard on the eyes

Saying this is what it is to be alive

Guess all the secrets you’re bound to on the inside

Are between you and the night

I knew you once

And your patience

Now its you that knows it all

Hope you’re everything you couldn’t wait to be

I guess half of somethings better than

A whole lot of nothing that may be

But when the lightening comes why stand beneath the trees

Now you’re a ghost in this town and still so hard on the eyes

Saying this is what it is to be alive

Guess all the secrets you’re bound to on the inside

Are between you and the night

Oh why do I do.

Oh why do I do.

Oh why do I do what I do to you
