Songtexte

They said I was lucky I was still around
Spoke in softer voices when I came back into town
Rooms felt too bright, eyes a little wet
Like I was some near-story they did not quite forget
Everyone kept saying "you've got time"
Like someone hit rewind on a fraying line
But lying there alone with the curtains drawn
I felt more like a question that refused to be gone
I always thought that if you get a second round
You stand up like a movie and you turn it all around
But I am staring at the same old ceiling cracks
Wondering what I owe the world for giving me back
If I am still here, then let it mean something
More than just surviving and the clock still running
I do not want a life that feels like borrowed light
Flickering in windows of a building in the night
If I am still breathing, let it be worth the air
More than people saying "man, that was a scare"
I am begging for a reason I am not goodbye
For proof that I am more than just a near-miss life
Now it is grocery lines and traffic jams
Half-read texts and overcrowded plans
Some days I forget what my body knew
Till a quiet little ache pulls the memory through
It feels wrong that I can still feel bored
Scroll a thousand miles and call it being "tired"
When I have brushed the edges of the map
And heard my own name hanging there like it might not come back
People say "you must see life so different now"
Like I wake up every morning knowing how
But most days I just make coffee, lose my keys
Hoping there is some small purpose hiding in routine
If I am still here, then let it mean something
More than just appointments and my heart still drumming
I do not want a life that feels like borrowed light
Fading in a hallway when the day is bright
If I am still breathing, let it be worth the air
More than people saying "man, you're lucky you're still there"
I am aching for a reason I am not goodbye
For proof that I am more than just a near-miss life
I do not need a statue or a song with my name
I just want one moment where it feels like I changed
Something small, one person, one tiny street
Somewhere the world is better that I stayed in my seat
If there is any meaning in this second round
Show me where to stand and I will try to hold that ground
If I am still here, then let it mean something
Let these borrowed days turn into more than nothing
I do not want my story told as "almost gone"
I want someone breathing easier because I went on
If I am still breathing, let it be worth the air
Let there be a corner that is lighter cause I am there
Till I find it I will carry this unanswered why
Living like my life is more than just a near-miss life
