Sometimes it's pain
|
Sometimes it's hollow
|
Never the same
|
It'll change you tomorrow
|
The sadness
|
Doesn't matter when it's gone
|
Girl in a red dress
|
Passes you by
|
A hurried deception
|
Glean to her eye
|
Like the weather will not hurt her
|
When she's wrong
|
You say you feel all broke and discarded
|
What's on your mind, baby?
|
You know you'll get on well
|
Once you've started
|
Over again
|
This day is alive
|
This day is alive
|
This day is alive
|
Take another chance if a turn for disaster
|
Is the best thing for you
|
Oh, the difference is the lies
|
I've told are true
|
Do not tell your father
|
The thoughts you've been thinking
|
They'll burn him too long
|
After all it's the dream that holds up the sun
|
Yeah, you want to have something that's real
|
Well, give it some time, baby
|
You're all wrapped up in the words
|
You're repeating over again
|
This day is alive
|
This day is alive
|
This day is alive
|
So now you tell me
|
What you're gonna do to me
|
You got a lot on your mind, baby
|
You go so much that'll get through to me
|
Without telling me lies
|
You say you wanna stand up for something, alright...
|
What's on your mind, baby
|
Oh, you could stand here for nothing
|
Or start it again
|
Start it again
|
This day is alive
|
This day is alive
|
This day is alive
|
|

Alive
