You wake up tired and lonely and your head hurts just like it hurt last night
But you’re glad to be alive
You said all the things that you needed to say
You packed your bags and you went away
Oh you’re glad to be alive
But if you weren’t
what would you leave behind
A Box of Letters, some unused thread
Your old journals, your unmade bed
The door left open, the light left on
The music playing, your favorite song
You make yourself a sandwich
‘cause you’re feeling kinda hungry
You drink a glass of wine although it seems a little early
You’re glad to be alive
You walk down to the mailbox to mail your friend a letter
You lie down in the grass ‘cause you’re feeling all kinds of better
You’re glad to be alive
But if you weren’t, what would you leave behind?
A Box of Letters, some unused thread
Your old journals, your unmade bed
The door left open, the light left on
The music playing, your favorite song
