Paula woke up at dawn 'Cus she knew she couldn't stay Packed her things in a canvas bag Started driving to L.A I once heard it's said You're defined by what you leave She didn't know about that She just needed more room to breathe You're alive Can you feel yourself lifting up As your heart is catching fire You're alive [?] off the ground As the lights begin to shine Jimmy knew his time was short Just another year or two The doctors did everything they could But his heart won't see him through He'd take the midnight train As the suburbs gently [?] Into the clubs and city bars Where he'd dance until there's nothing left You're alive Can you feel yourself lifting up As your heart is catching fire You're alive [?] on the ground As the lights begin to shine Break the promises you've made Waste your nights and burn your days Close your eyes and fall away We are above the dark streets Distant church bells start to ring Break your heart and set you free You're alive Can you feel yourself lifting up As your heart is catching fire You're alive [?] on the ground As the lights begin to shine
