Lyrics

Alive And Kickin'
VERSE 1:
Got no shoebox full of letters
No photos left to burn
Yeah, the journal has been kept,
but the page has been turned

I?ve got a glass of chardonnay,
my favorite movie on
My life?s a lot less complex
since you?ve been gone
PRE-CHORUS:
I always took pride in
wearin? my heart on my sleeve
And yes, I still do
It?s there for you to read,
It hurt to see you leave
for a day or two, ooh
CHORUS:
The world kept spinnin? while
I wasn?t in it
Life won?t wait
Your memory?s fadin? quick and I?m
alive and kickin?
So much to appreciate
Gonna do some livin?
while I?m alive and kickin?
VERSE 2:
Got some people who still love me
though I didn?t call?em for a while
Was busy findin? what I wanted in a man
you missed by a mile

Also I?ve set aside some time
to spend with myself only, yeah yeah
To find out why they say alone
don?t have to mean lonely
PRE-CHORUS:
I?m rejuvenated,
now I can think straight again
Got a life to pursue
And all thanks to me
I got over you
to the other side of blue, ooh
CHORUS
OUTTRO:
Gonna do some livin?
while I?m alive and kickin?, yeah yeah
I?m rejuvenated, now I can think straight again
Oh, oh, I?m gonna do some livin? while I?m alive ? and kickin?, oh yeah
