For the first time I feel good alone
The sound of fire and the smell of summer
The city's far and winter's gone
It feels alright to be alive in songs

I've been so sick and I've been so tired
Hospital beds and fucked up people
I feel connected with their faults
If you've been down... I love you all

I've been so scared of being scared
I got so tired of being drunk
My reputation lost it's goal
Now I'm so serious about having fun

I wanna spend more time with my dogs
Give me your keys and roll down your windows
The spotlight ain't nothing but jive
Don't drop me here let's drive all night

Business and numbers, emails and phones
Cynicism and coke is killing hope

For the first time I feel good alone
The sound of fire and the smell of summer
The city's far and winter's gone
It feels alright to be alive in songs

Maybe I'm sick, maybe I'm old
I don't need you or anyone
This city will never be my home
But it feels alright to be alive tonight.
