Sometimes I feel like I need to shake myself
To wake myself
I feel like I'm just sleepwalking through my life
It's like I'm swimming in an ocean of emotion
But still somehow slowly going numb inside
I don't like who I'm becoming
I know I've gotta do something
Before my life passes right by
I want to cry like the rain, cry like the rain
Shine like the sun on a beautiful morning
Sing to the Heavens like a church bell ringing
Fight with the devil and go down swinging
Fly like a bird, roll like a stone
Love like I ain't afraid to be alone
Take everything that this world has to give
I want to live
Sometimes I wonder why I work so hard
To guard my heart
'Til I hardly feel anything at all
I've spent my whole life building up this ivory tower
Now that I'm in it, I keep wishing it would fall
So I could feel the ground beneath me
Really taste this air I'm breathing
And know that I'm alive
I want to cry like the rain, cry like the rain
Shine like the sun on a beautiful morning
Sing to the Heavens like a church bell ringing
Fight with the devil and go down swinging
Fly like a bird, roll like a stone
Love like I ain't afraid to be alone
Take everything that this world has to give
I want to live, I want to live
Something deep inside keeps saying
Life is like a vapor
It's gone in just the twinkling of an eye
I want to cry like the rain, cry like the rain
Shine like the sun on a beautiful morning
Sing to the Heavens like a church bell ringing
Fight with the devil and go down swinging
Fly like a bird, roll like a stone
Love like I ain't afraid to be alone
Take everything that this world has to give
I want to take every breath I can get
I want to live
Yeah, yeah
