I Was Alive Songtext
von The Milk Carton Kids

I rode away in the sunrise
A great escape from a white lie
Thought death was a surprise
I looked around and I, I was alive

Sweat running down in fine lines
A vision flashing by a lifetime
Some decoy in the firing line
I looked around and I, I was alive


I know a fire by the smoke rise
The tremble in your voice on the other line
Pass me over in the blue night
I looked around and I, I was alive

I was alive

I saw a dream rising in your eyes
To carry with you down to the other side
Took a picture in the fading light
I looked around and I, I was alive

A pixel glowing in a child′s eyes
See them laughing, I say goodbye
I miss you like the starry sky
I looked around and I, I was alive
