What it means to be alive Lyrics

Sometimes I lay in bed at night

Thinking about the ones I love

Dreaming about the times I lived

And missing all the stars I lost

So I take these memories so dear to me

And hold them tight like a teddy bear

Like the one I loved when I was a child

The same one that burned in a fire

Holding on, holding out

Hopelessness is hard to find

Hold my head up in the dark

Where the past is left behind, oh

Moving on, moving out

Memory hills are hard to climb

Hold my head up in the dark

That's what it means to be alive

Sometimes I wish that I could freeze

These moments that made me feel alive

And live them again when I feel grim

And hold on to them like a candle in the night

But I know too well I can't keep them

That I can't master time, that I can't fix it

That all I got left are faded pictures

Dimmed memories and blurred out regrets

Holding on, holding out

Hopelessness is hard to find

Hold my head up in the dark

Where the past is left behind, oh

Moving on, moving out

Memory hills are hard to climb

Hold my head up in the dark

That's what it means to be alive

So let me feel alive

So let me feel alive

So make me feel alive

So make me feel, and I'm

Holding on, holding out

Hopelessness is hard to find

Hold my head up in the dark

Where the past is left behind, oh

Moving on, moving out

Memory hills are hard to climb

Hold my head up in the dark

That's what it means to be alive
