lyrics

I Come Alive

I try to focus on each task
So at work they never ask
Where my mind has been all day.
(It wanders back to you this way.)
It’s a common enough condition —
Spending hours hoping and wishing.
Feels a little self destructive —
But this feeling’s so seductive.

CHORUS:
I come alive when I’m with you
Even though I’m not supposed to.
Won’t depend on it or you.
I come alive when I’m with you.

If I had a different look
Would that be what it took?
If I knew what to say, knew how to act
Would this dream become a fact?
And if I floated like a feather
If I got my act together
If I made myself just right
Would you stay with me tonight?

CHORUS

Draw a picture for me, babe.
Sculpt me out of mud and clay.
Sing a song (don’t sing too fast).
Somehow I know that this won’t last.

I know I play at being cheery
But I’m broken down and weary.
I’m no good at being strong.
I stretch these moments out too long.
Please don’t hear my beating heart.
Please don’t see my wounds and scars.
Please don’t say you’re sorry, dear.
It hurts a little to be this near.
