I'm Alive Songtext
von Jackson Browne

It′s been a long time since I watched these lights alone
I look around my life tonight and you are gone
I might have done something to keep you if I'd known
How unhappy you had become

While I was dreaming of you
With my heart in your hands
And I was following though
With my beautiful plans

Yeah, now I′m rolling down this canyon drive
With your laughter in my head
I'm gonna have to block it out somehow to survive
'Cause those dreams are dead
And I′m alive

I want to go where I will never hear your name
I wanna lose my sorrow and be free again
And I know I′ve been insane
When I think of places I could have been


But I was dreaming of you
With my heart in your hands
And I was following through
With my beautiful plans

Standing here by the highway side
Watching these trucks blow by
Inches from my face
Yeah, thinking 'bout the time I′ve wasted (dreaming of you)

And the pleasure we once tasted (dreaming of you)
Looking up and down this road (following through)
I've been here before, following you (following through)
I can′t be here no more (dreaming of you)

Yeah, now I'm rolling down California five
With your laughter in my head
Gonna have to block it out somehow to survive
′Cause those dreams are dead
I'm alive

Yeah, baby, I'm alive

Yeah, I′m alive


Hey, look at the way I believed in you and loved you all these years
Now you can fill a swimming pool with all my salty tears
If you′d have told me what was in your heart
But, baby, you lied
And I thought that it would kill me
But I'm alive

Yeah, I′m alive

Yeah, I'm alive

Yeah, I′m alive
