to be alive

There's a quiet at night

And it's messin' with time

'Til I'm something else

And I'm watchin' the sky

So constant and wise

Oh, I hold myself

I wanna stay up late, I'm young again

I'm gonna keep the light on

I'm gonna lose my mind

Talk to my old imaginary friend

'Bout what it's like to be alive

There are thoughts in our heads

Lying with us in bed

And we wonder why

We see stars when they're gone

Or we lose what we love

Hold on

Oh, we try

I wanna stay up late, I'm young again

I'm gonna keep the light on

I'm gonna lose my mind

Talk to my old imaginary friend

'Bout what it's like to be alive

And my room is a rocket

(I am floating)

Falling to Mars

(In a cup of)

My hands in my pockets

(Water by my bed)

Are spillin' the stars

My walls fall away

(I am under-)

And turn into red

(-neath the covers)

Flying in my head

I wanna stay up late, I'm young again

I'm gonna keep the light on

I'm gonna lose my mind

Talk to my old imaginary friend

'Bout what it's like to be alive
