Maybe Alive Songtext
von Pomeroy

It felt like a century
It felt like a dream
It felt like an anchor
Falling down on me

My pride couldn′t save me
What's left on my sleeve?
My freezing tomb was set
58 degrees

And I guess my fate is on the rise
′Cause I can't cradle it down
Can you hear this compromise?
No reply, it's over now


Then I saw your face
Speeding towards me
My brother hold me
Three times I gave up
At the end of my rope, I thought I′d die
Never thought I′d say
For the first time in life, I'm thinking
I′m maybe alive

I screamed to the heavens
I screamed to the sea
I screamed at the men who sailed
Inches from my plea

But they couldn't save me
′Cause they couldn't see
My tombstone must have read
Drowning aimlessly

And I guess my fate is on the rise
′Cause I can't cradle it down
Can you hear this compromise?
No reply, it's over now

I guess I′ve said my last goodbye (I guess I′ve said goodbye)
The other day in town (the other day in town)
The clerk, he gave me pennies back
With no reply, it's over now


Then I saw your face
Speeding towards me
My brother hold me
Three times I gave up
At the end of my rope, I thought I′d die
Never thought I'd say
For the first time in life, I′m thinking
I'm maybe alive

When the sun rolls dark and the waves crash down
(When the sun grows dark and the waves crash down)
And your lump′s been strict, so you cannot make a sound
(If your lump's been strict so you cannot make a sound)

Then you'll fight against the mirror and the person that you see
(Then you′ll fight against the mirror and the person that you see)
Two men enter
(When two men enter and one man leaves)

Now let me roll up my sleeves, and give me some room to breathe
Push me in the center of the ring when the bell dings
I will fight for feeling back of my toes
And I will fight for what is right as all my emptiness grows

I suppose there will be enemies as soon as the bell sounds
No friendly touch of the gloves could expel how I beat about ya
Brace your face for impact
This is my space, using the way that you can get that

Then I saw your face
Speeding towards me
My brother hold me
Three times I gave up
At the end of my rope, I thought I′d die
Never thought I'd say
For the first time in life, I′m thinking
I'm maybe alive, whoa-oh

Then I saw your face
Speeding towards me
My brother hold me
Three times I gave up
At the end of my rope, I thought I′d die
Never thought I'd say
For the first time in life, I′m thinking
I'm maybe alive
