I’m Alive Songtext
von Jackson Browne

It′s been a long time since I watched these lights alone
I look around my life tonight and you are gone
I might've done something to keep you if I′d known
How unhappy you had become
While I was dreaming of you with my heart in your hands
And I was following though with my beautiful plans

Yeah, now I'm rolling down this Canyon Drive
With your laughter in my head
I'm gonna have to block it out somehow to survive
′Cause those dreams are dead
And I′m alive

I want to go where I will never hear your name
I want to lose my sorrow and be free again
And I know I've been insane
When I think of places I could have been
But I was dreaming of you with my heart in your hands
And I was following through with my beautiful plans


Standing here by the highway side
Watching these trucks blow by
Inches from my face
Yeah, thinking ′bout the time I've wasted
And the pleasure we once tasted
Looking up and down this road
I′ve been here before
I can't be here no more

Yeah, now I′m rolling down California Five
With your laughter in my head
I'm gonna have to block it out somehow to survive
'Cause those dreams are dead
And I′m alive

Hey, look at the way I believed in you and loved you all these years
Now you could fill your swimming pool with all my salty tears
You could′ve told me what was in your heart, but baby you lied
And I thought that it would kill me
But I'm alive

Yeah, baby, I′m alive
Yeah, baby, I'm alive
Yeah, I′m alive
God bless
