Lyrics
[verse]
Daylight comes and I'm still wide awake
Counting hours by the choices that I make
Chasing something that keeps slipping through my hand
Half a feeling that I barely understand
[verse]
City lights keep blinking like they know my name
Everybody here is playing the same game
We keep saying that tomorrow we'll be fine
Living half a life and calling it a sign
[chorus]
I want something more than this halfway high
I want something real before the night goes by
Give me one more reason not to let it slide
I'm just trying to feel alive, alive, alive
[verse]
Friends keep fading out like static on the phone
Rooms get louder but I still feel alone
Every high I chase leaves a little less behind
Half a heart is a hard thing to unwind
[chorus]
I want something more than this halfway high
I want something real before the night goes by
Give me one more reason not to let it slide
I'm just trying to feel alive, alive, alive
[bridge]
Maybe if I stop and catch my breath
Maybe there's a version of me left
Not the one that's running out of time
Just a simple kind of alive
[chorus]
I want something more than this halfway high
I want something real before the night goes by
Give me one more reason not to let it slide
I'm just trying to feel alive, alive, alive
