Officially Alive

(album: Wheelhouse - 2013)

So you ruffled some feathers, yeah, you've done it now
Turned the tables in the temple clean upside down
You're out on a ledge and one thing's for sure
When you've got 'em all wishing you'd never been born

Congratulations, you are officially alive
It's confirmation you are officially alive

It's not the double kick of an ultrasound
Or a piece of paper on file downtown
It takes more than a beat and a breath and a name
It's when you're so in love and so in pain

Congratulations, you are officially alive
Here's affirmation, you are officially alive

Yeah, it's a tragedy to go through history and simply just exist
You're gonna realize how quick it flies by and everything you missed
And suddenly you're standing there in scrubs
Love has found new flesh and blood
It's a feeling you weren't ready for
When you're looking in eyes that look like yours

Congratulations, you are officially alive
This is creation, you are officially alive
You are officially alive
