[Verse 1]
Paula woke up at dawn
‘Cus she knew she couldn't stay
Packed her things in a canvas bag
Started driving to L.A
[Verse 2]
I once heard it's said
You're defined by what you leave
She didn't know about that
She just needed more room to breathe
[Chorus]
You're alive (x5)
Can you feel yourself lifting up
As your heart is catching fire
You're alive (x5)
[?] off the ground
As the lights begin to shine
[Verse 3]
Jimmy knew his time was short
Just another year or two
The doctors did everything they could
But his heart won't see him through
[Verse 4]
He'd take the midnight train
As the suburbs gently [?]
Into the clubs and city bars
Where he'd dance until there's nothing left
[Chorus]
You're alive (x5)
Can you feel yourself lifting up
As your heart is catching fire
You're alive (x5)
[?] on the ground
As the lights begin to shine
[Verse 5]
Break the promises you've made
Waste your nights and burn your days
Close your eyes and fall away
[Verse 6]
We are above the dark streets
Distant church bells start to ring
Break your heart and set you free
[Chorus]
You're alive (x5)
Can you feel yourself lifting up
As your heart is catching fire
You're alive (x5)
[?] on the ground
As the lights begin to shine
