Dying To Be Alive

Hanson · This Time Around [2000]

I heard you crying

Somebody stole my soul

How could I be dying

I turned twenty-five days ago



We're all on the ground just crying out

Would somebody save me, please?

I won't sit around just thinking 'bout

The troubles that tomorrow brings

Yeah



I'm dying to be alive, yeah

I'm dying to be alive, yeah

Let's not go through our lives

Without just dying to be alive

Yeah



The people you've touched

The way you've touched them

I hope they've touched you too

'Cause in this life it's hard to tell

What's false and what is true, yeah



We're all on the ground just crying out

Would somebody save me, please?

I won't sit around just thinking 'bout

The troubles that tomorrow brings, yeah



I'm dying to be alive, yeah

Not trying to just survive, yeah-yeah

Let's not go through our lives

Without just dying to be alive

Yeah-yeah



And we all come tumbling down

No matter how strong we all return to the ground

Another day gone

A day closer to fate

And soon we'll find it's a little bit too late

Too late



The things you see, the way you see them

Will never been seen again

Let's go through life living on luck

Betting ten thousand to ten

Yeah



Mistakes I've made in this life

I can't say why or when

But the thing that's strange is you only live once

I'll never look back again, yeah



I'm dying to be alive, yeah

Not trying to just survive, yeah-yeah

Let's not go through our lives

Without just dying to be alive, yeah



I'm dying to be alive, yeah

Not trying to just survive, yeah-yeah

Let's not go through our lives

Without just dying to be alive, yeah



And we all come tumbling down

No matter how strong we all return to the ground

In the days to come you'll say, why did I wait?

You can't just leave your life up to fate

You got to turn it around before it's too late
