The future isn't here but we'll miss it when it's gone
A spring that spins like a revolving door
I used to think I knew what was right but never wrong
But I'm not really present in the present anymore
I'm forever leaving Southern California
Dancing through graffiti saints & Urban Light
My self-loathing was the mammoth trapped on Wilshire
Buried in the tar pits of my mind

You can shine a memory until it blinds you
Into a lie so bright that you can barely see
But every in-flight movie just reminds me
What if all the things I want are never meant to be

Two years ago I was sleepless in Seattle
Staring at a ceiling inches from my head
I wrote about you every day that summer
But I left the book in the rental & you left my heart on read

Maybe true love's just a thing only that happens once
But I'll spin the wheel as long as your sweet name keeps turning up
I thought about your hand holding my hand against your face
Maybe true love never dies but it doesn't always stay

Do you want to dance?
There's music in your eyes
Possibility & chance
It's good to be alive

Suffering & loss teach us to survive
It's all part of the cost we pay to be alive
Do you want to dance? There's magic in your eyes
Coincidence & chance, it's good to be alive

Do you want to dance?
There's music in your eyes
Possibility & chance
It's good to be alive

It's good to be alive
