I Want To Live

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sometimes I feel like I need, to shake myself, to wake myself I feel like I'm just sleepwalkin' through my life It's like I'm swimmin' in an ocean of emotion But still somehow slowly goin' numb inside I don't like who I'm becomin' I know I've gotta do somethin' Before my life passes right by [Chorus] I want to cry like the rain Cry like the rain Shine like the sun on a beautiful mornin' Sing to the Heavens like a church bell ringin' Fight with the devil and go down swingin' 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 [Verse 2] 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 And now that I'm in it, I keep wishin' it would fall So I could feel the ground beneath me Really taste this air I'm breathin' And know that I'm alive [Chorus] I want to cry like the rain Cry like the rain Shine like the sun on a beautiful mornin' Sing to the Heavens like a church bell ringin' Fight with the devil and go down swingin' 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 [Bridge] Somethin' deep inside Keeps sayin' life is like a vapor It's gone in just the twinklin' of an eye [Chorus] I want to cry like the rain Cry like the rain Shine like the sun on a beautiful mornin' Sing to the Heavens like a church bell ringin' Fight with the devil and go down swingin' 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 [Outro] I want to take every breath I can get I want to live, yeah, yeah
