Just Living Songtext
von ALL

The phone is ringing as I dig for a pen
I change my face and answer and then
My grip is falling for the right thing to say
To her, another week, sick of the time I can′t pay

What about the bills? What about the rent?
What about the days in the park you never spent?
I wonder what's the use
I need time to have a purpose

My treasure map′s been on the shelf for so long
It's not my choice and that's what′s so wrong
I′m torn together and receipt in her purse
One makes up the other and that makes it worse

What about the streets? What about the crowds?
What about the simple existence you allowed?
What about the words written on her face?
What about the promise you need this place?


Not alive, just living
Not alive, just living
I wonder what's the use
I need time to have a purpose
Not alive, just living

The wind up I gave had a gun in the pan
I smash the phone just as fast as I can
I can′t remember when I didn't know
About loans and touch-tone phones, it wasn′t that long ago

What about those feelings? What about that touch?
What about the new things that used to mean so much?
What about my hopes? What about my fears?
What about my heart that won't release the tears anymore?

Not alive, just living
Not alive, just living
I wonder what′s the use
I need time to have a purpose
Not alive, just living
Not alive, just living
Not alive, just living

Living, living
Living, living
