| All my lives are coming through |
| And, even though there isn’t room |
| I save seats for my selves |
| Invite them in, wish them well |
| The way I feel &the way I guess I felt |
| I was 23 &crazy |
| Frightened, overwhelmed, and angry |
| You said, «That's not how I see you |
| You treat yourself unfairly |
| Don’t treat yourself unfairly.» |
| I was alive back then |
| I remember when |
| It was Christmas |
| We were wrestlers |
| Bay Ridge Parkway |
| Our apartment |
| We were fast &best friends |
| We were just little kids |
| You were Lenny Dykstra |
| I was Wally Backman |
| This was before I got so lonely |
| With my lovers, with my family |
| Scared of living |
| Scared of dying |
| Scared of being happy |
| I couldn’t let myself be happy |
| I was alive back then |
| I was alive back then |
| I was alive back then |
| I remember when |
| I was 20 |
| Kolankowski |
| Asked me who I thought I’d marry |
| I answered your name |
| Years before we would date |
| Years before he’d officiate our wedding |
| You never «know» |
| You’re never «ready» |
| But all your fear is just confetti |
| Let it blow all 'round your bedroom |
| When it gets too heavy |
| Don’t let it get too heavy |
| I was alive back then |
| I was alive back then |
| I was alive back then |
| No one asks you if you’re ready |
| When they’re handing you the baby |
| My mother said, «Son, you can’t imagine |
| You’ll have your mind blown, honey |
| You’ll be crazy in love, honey.» |
| I was alive back then |
| I was alive back then |
| I was alive back then |
| I remember when |
| I was alive back then |
| Now, I am again |
