Time Alive

You always wake first
Even at your worst
And the sunrise gives you hope
There's always more to know

You were always fine
With the constant pass of time
Life to you was long
And every day a song

You always wake first
With morning in your eyes
And coffee on your shirt
And you burst the door
Dancing like a maniac
Before you hit the floor

And you still go
Driving through the summer
With your heart on the road
And you both knew
When she told you

This is your life
Windows down on an open road
And this is your heart
Screaming climbing into your throat
And this is breathing
And seeing it go
And this is the feeling of being alive

You were first in line
For the flyaway to Denver
Where you hear she's doing fine
And you can't help but stare
When you spot her in the airport
With the colors in her hair

And you still go
When you both drove to the lake house
And it started to snow
And you both knew
When she told you

This is your life
Dancing your way into the storm
And this is your heart
Charging through any open door
And this is breathing
And seeing it go
And this is the feeling of being alive

And this is your life
Every plan has the right to fall
And this is your heart
Through the dark, it's the loudest call
And this is breathing
And seeing her go
And this is the feeling of being alive
