Lyrics

Verse 1:

Shut down, I’ve been struck down in my days
Somehow I have lucked out with God’s grace

I need to feed my dreams with things
that make me think that everything’s alright
And I’m calling on my memory
So I can try to find a reason why

Verse 2:

Hey man I will take that to my grave
Hang man, it’s a shame that he had to go to waste

I need to drain out everything
that makes me think of anything from that night
And I’m falling down so heavily
Don’t ever think I’ll ever see what’s right

Chorus:

And I’ll say Hey-ey-ey
I’m alive
And I’ll say Hey-ey-ey
Please don’t take my life

Verse 3:

What makes you think that I’d go back that way
I’ve had you once before but not today

Cause I found a sweet new love of mine
and nothing’s gonna make me change my mind
And I promise her the world and that
She’ll always be my girl until I die

Verse 4:

I think that you should go back where you came
Cause things are in the past and you’re to blame

I think you should apologize
for all the time you never did me right
And I’m holding on my wallet like
You think somehow I’m s’posed to pay the price

Chorus:

And I’ll say Hey-ey-ey
I’m alive
And I’ll say Hey-ey-ey
Please don’t take my life

(Solo)

And I’ll say Hey-ey-ey
I’m alive
And I’ll say Hey-ey-ey
Please don’t take my life
