lyrics

The city feels alive
And it feels nice
To look around and see the blinking lights
And well have everything that we're meant to have
And we'll wake up and feel alright
Oh I love you and I'm glad you're alive

And we'll get that house we've always wanted
With the Xs in the windows and the shade in the yard
And we'll live there together and no less happy
I think that's an ending that I deserve
Oh I love you and I'm glad you're alive

And we'll walk at dusk and get caught in the rain
It doesn't matter because we're breathing
Oh the beauty of breathing
The simple rhythm of your heart beating
It's so strange to be alive
Oh I love you and I'm glad you're alive
