Be Alive

When I met you I said: I wanna be an astronaut
I wanna spend my life in outerspace
You said: Honey you're a beauty queen
You should stay on Earth with that pretty face
I said: I wanna be a star
I wanna dance and sing on a Broadway stage
You said: Dear you wouldn't stand a chance in hell
Not starting at this late age

I used to think there was a right thing to say
I'd formulate phrases I could use some day
Stick my foot in my mouth after each line
Eat crow breakfast lunch and dinnertime
Stick my foot in my mouth after each line
Eat crow breakfast lunch and dinnertime

Now I'm a big kid; I'm all grown up
And I just want to purge my guts
Of all the feelings I swallowed, the emotions I ate
I wanna bring you back and scream: It's not too late
I wanna bring you back and scream: It's not too late
Well I know it is; I know how to cry
I know what it means just to be alive
To say the wrong things, do the wrong things, hear the wrong things
From the ones I love
And I wouldn't trade a day on this Earth 'for a stupid tiara
For the moon above

I said: I wanna spend the rest of my life with you
You said: We needn't prove ourselves by saying I do
I said: I wanna spend the rest of my life with you
You said: We needn't prove ourselves by saying I do
Well I know it's too late to do the right things
But I sometimes wonder can you hear me sing?
Are you somewhere out there in outerspace?
Missing my voice; Missing my face
Missing my voice; Missing my face

Well I hope you're listening cause I'm mad and
I blame you for the problems that we had
Still I wish you were here so you could make me cry
Cause I know what it means to be alive
I wish you were here so you could make me cry
Cause I know what it means to be alive
I wish you were here so you could make me cry
Cause I know what it means to be alive

I said: I know it's too late to do the right things
But I sometimes wonder can you hear me sing?
Are you somewhere out there in outerspace?
Missing my voice; Missing my face
Missing my voice; Missing my face
Missing my voice; Missing my face
Missing my voice; Missing my face
