a long time ago,
cause I heard some song I used to hear back then
a long time ago.
I remember when even further back in another town
cause I saw something written I used to say back then
how to comprehend.
And the question is was I more alive than right now?
I happily have to disagree
I laugh more often now
I cry more often now
I am more me.
But of course somedays I just lie around
and hardly exist
and can't tell apart what I'm eating
from my hand or my wrist.
Cause flesh is flesh, flesh is flesh is flesh
the difference is thin
but life has a certain ability of breathing new life into me
so I breathe it in
it tells me here you are and here all you are here
and still can make sense
if you just show up and present an honest face
instead of that grin.
And the question is was I more alive than right now?
I happily have to disagree
I laugh more often now
I cry more often now
I am more me.
The other day this new friend of mine
said something to me,
'Just because something starts differently
Doesn't mean it's worth less.'
And I soaked it in, how I soaked it in
How I soaked it in
And just asked to prove how right he was
Then you came.
So I'm gonna give, yes I'm gonna give
I'm gonna give you a try
So I'm gonna give, yes I'm gonna give
I'm gonna give you a try
And the question is was I more alive than right now?
I happily have to disagree
I laugh more often now
I cry more often now
I am more me.
