I remember when, when I first moved here   A long time ago   'Cause I heard some song I used to hear back then   A long time ago      I remember when, even further back   In another town   'Cause I saw something written I used to say back then   Hard to comprehend      And the question is, was I more alive then than I am now?   I happily have to disagree   I laugh more often now, I cry more often now   I am more me      But of course some days, I just lie around   And hardly exist   And can't tell apart what I'm eating   From my hand or my wrist      'Cause flesh is flesh, flesh is, flesh is flesh   The difference is thin   But life has a certain ability or beating new life into me   So I breathe it in      It says here we are, and we all are here   And you still can make sense   If you just show up and present an honest face   Instead of that grin      And the question is, was I more alive then than I am now?   I happily have to disagree   I laugh more often now, I cry more often now   I am more me      And the other day, this new friend of mine   Said something to me   "Just because something starts differently   Doesn't mean it's worth less"      And I soaked it in, how I soaked it in   How I soaked it in   And just as to prove how right he was   Then you came      So I'm gonna give, yes, I'm gonna give   I'm gonna give you a try   So I'm gonna give, yes, I'm gonna give   I'm gonna give you a try      And the question is, was I more alive then than I am now?   I happily have to disagree   I laugh more often now, I cry more often now   I am more me
