A Little More Alive

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I kept the receipt from the old motel Folded in a book I never tell Where I was going, what I knew Just a paper proof I made it through [Pre-Chorus] I took the long way past the county line With a borrowed coat and a borrowed mind If I looked lost, I played it cool Some roads are built for breaking rules [Chorus] I’m still here, with my hands held high Not a hero, but I didn’t hide Every wrong turn left a mark on me Now I wear them like a history If the morning comes, let it find me trying A little less afraid, a little more alive [Verse 2] There’s a coffee ring beside the bed And a dozen things I should have said I used to think that being strong Meant pretending nothing could go wrong [Pre-Chorus] But the truth came soft at the kitchen door Said I don’t have to run anymore I can name the fear and let it stay Then choose a different road today [Chorus] I’m still here, with my hands held high Not a hero, but I didn’t hide Every wrong turn left a mark on me Now I wear them like a history If the morning comes, let it find me trying A little less afraid, a little more alive [Bridge] Maybe progress looks like calling back Maybe courage is a slower track I don’t need a perfect alibi Just one honest step before goodbye [Final Chorus] I’m still here, with my hands held high Not a hero, but I didn’t hide Every wrong turn left a mark on me Now I wear them like a history If the morning comes, let it find me trying A little less afraid, a little more alive Yes, the morning comes, and it finds me trying A little less afraid, a little more alive [Outro] A little more alive
