VERSE 1:
son, she said, have a got a little story for you
what you thought was your daddy was nothing but a…
while you were sitting home alone at age 13
your real daddy was dying
sorry you didn’t see him
but i’m glad we talked
CHORUS 1:
oh i oh i’m still alive
hey i, i oh i’m still alive
hey i, oh, i’m still alive
hey…oh…
VERSE 2:
oh, she walks slowly, across a young man’s room
she said i’m ready…for you…
i can’t remember anything to this very day
‘cept the look, the look
oh you know where…now i can’t see…i just stare…
CHORUS 2:
i, i’m still alive
hey i, i, i’m still alive
hey i, i, i’m still alive
hey i, i, i’m still alive, yea
oh yea, yea yea yea…oh oh
BRIDGE:
“is something wrong?” she said
of course there is
“you’re still alive” she said
oh, do i deserve to be?
is that the question?
and if so…if so…if so…if so…
CHORUS 3:
i, oh, i’m stil alive
hey i, oh, i’m still alive
hey i, but, i’m still alive
yea, i oh i’m still alive!
yea yea yea!
