Pete Yorn - Alive Lyrics

Sometimes it's pain
Sometimes it's hollow
Never the same
It'll change you tomorrow
The sadness
Doesn't matter when it's gone
Girl in a red dress
Passes you by
A hurried deception
Glean to her eye
Like the weather will not hurt her
When she's wrong
You say you feel all broke and discarded
What's on your mind, baby?
You know you'll get on well
Once you've started
Over again
This day is alive
This day is alive
This day is alive
Take another chance if a turn for disaster
Is the best thing for you
Oh, the difference is the lies
I've told are true
Do not tell your father
The thoughts you've been thinking
They'll burn him too long
After all it's the dream that holds up the sun
Yeah, you want to have something that's real
Well, give it some time, baby
You're all wrapped up in the words
You're repeating over again
This day is alive
This day is alive
This day is alive
So now you tell me
What you're gonna do to me
You got a lot on your mind, baby
You go so much that'll get through to me
Without telling me lies
You say you wanna stand up for something, alright...
What's on your mind, baby
Oh, you could stand here for nothing
Or start it again
Start it again
This day is alive
This day is alive
This day is alive
