| Paula woke up at dawn
|
| ‘Cus she knew she couldn’t stay
|
| Packed her things in a canvas bag
|
| Started driving to L. A
|
| I once heard it’s said
|
| You’re defined by what you leave
|
| She didn’t know about that
|
| She just needed more room to breathe
|
| You’re alive (x5)
|
| Can you feel yourself lifting up
|
| As your heart is catching fire
|
| You’re alive (x5)
|
| Feet are floating off the ground
|
| As the lights begin to shine
|
| Jimmy knew his time was short
|
| Just another year or two
|
| The doctors did everything they could
|
| But his heart won’t see him through
|
| He’d take the midnight train
|
| As the suburbs gently slept
|
| Into the clubs and city bars
|
| Where he’d dance until there’s nothing left
|
| You’re alive (x5)
|
| Can you feel yourself lifting up
|
| As your heart is catching fire
|
| You’re alive (x5)
|
| Feet are floating off the ground
|
| As the lights begin to shine
|
| Break the promises you’ve made
|
| Waste your nights and burn your days
|
| Close your eyes and fall away
|
| We are above the dark streets
|
| Distant church bells start to ring
|
| Break your heart and set you free
|
| You’re alive (x5)
|
| Can you feel yourself lifting up
|
| As your heart is catching fire
|
| You’re alive (x5)
|
| Feet are floating off the ground
|
| As the lights begin to shine |
