I remember when, when I first moved here A long time ago ' Cause I'd 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 Hard to comprehend And the question is, was I more alive then than I am now? I happily have to disagree I laugh more often now, I cry more often now I am more me But of course some days 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 as flesh as flesh The difference is thin But life has a certain ability of breathing new life into me So I breathe it in It says here we are and we all are here And you 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 then than I am now? I happily have to disagree I laugh more often now, I cry more often now I am more me And 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 as 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 then than I am now? I happily have to disagree I laugh more often now, I cry more often now I am more me
