about

A song highlighting the dichotomy of a toxic relationship

lyrics

Weightless floating up to see him in the surface
where he can guarantee a little purpose
oh she could never know that he was too far
gone beneath the shadows where her
desperate arms could never reach
words get trapped inside a fever and she (she said)

I just want to feel alive
for the first time
i'm hanging on to every moment
still holding on to every piece of me that fell behind
loose change heavy in his pockets
the burnt taste of stale cigarettes
daylight burning to be mirrored in her eyes
spilling over all of his mistakes
honestly I can't believe how it takes him down to the bottom
words get trapped inside a fever and he (he said)

I just want to feel alive
for the first time
i'm hanging on to every moment
still holding on to every piece of me that fell behind

The air is heavy here and I can barely breathe
I shattered thoughts of you that cut through me and I

I just want to feel alive
for the first time
i'm hanging on to every moment
still holding on to every piece of me that fell behind
alive
for the first time
i'm hanging on to every moment
still holding on to every piece of me that fell behind

I'm hanging on to every moment
I want to know just what it feels like
and I just want to feel alive
for the first time
(I know you think its not enough)
Im hanging on to every moment
(I know you think its not enough)
so can you tell me what it feels like
(I know you think its not enough)
and I just want to feel Alive
