Live If You Try Songtext
von Mark Owen

I′m gonna climb inside this peaceful mind, and mind
Shake it up, drop a bomb, tic-toc, stop the clock
I need to feel alive, reach my sides, go and go
When there's nothing left, I will find it all

Wake me up from the coma-camera of lost time
Let a bomb break out from the routine life
Take a gun, set your target, let bullets fly
Open up, shoot me down, break the sky

You only live if you try
You only live if you try
You only live if you try
You only live if you try

We′ve been dropped, kicked, set-back, laughed at, body-one
Outside, inside, inside, stay alive
We're not gonna give any time away
But tomorrow will never be today


If you want it, you get it, you have it, you get it
You're not down with that
You′re bigger than that
Here comes an afterthought back to pull you down
Keep it up, push it back, take control

You only live if you try
You only live if you try
I′m comin' out, I′m comin' out alive
You only live if you try
You only live if you try

Help me out of this console screen I′m in, smash it up
Let me fly through the windowpane
On the floor, I feel my legs again
Through the floor, a non-swimmer is diving in

To the blue, sky blanket that covers you
We are free, in time to catch the morning break (break, break, break)
When we rise as the human race
Wind us up, pull us back, watch us go

We only live if we try
We only live if we try
I'm comin′ out, I'm comin' out alive
We only live if we try
We only live if we try


Wake the life that sleeps in you
Wake the walls and let the light come through
Meet me on the other side
See the life you want through your own eyes

You only live if you try,
You only live if you try
You only live if you try
