Alive (song)

You may not have known it,
but I sure as hell showed it
with every laugh and every smile I ever gave to you.
And I'm sure that by now
even you would allow
yourself to see the fact in each and every single clue

Now I might not always know the right words to say
but it's been killing me since that first day.

I have never felt quite this alive
and I have never let myself take such a dive
into a thing quite as unknown as you
but I think I'm ready to jump into
this thing we call life as long as
you're ready to jump too.

You may not have known it
but I thought that I showed it
through all the nervousness I had whenever I saw you.
But just look at us now,
we're together somehow
and I can't believe that what I wished for has come true.

Now I might not always know the right words to say
but it's been killing me since that first day.

I have never felt quite this alive
and I have never let myself take such a dive
into a thing quite as unknown as you
but I think I'm ready to jump into
this thing we call life as long as
you're ready to jump too.

And if you're scared, it's okay.
Just take a deep breath and don't give it away
until we've jumped,
hit the ground,
stayed a while and looked around,
'cause what's the point in leaping if there's nothing to be found?

I have never felt quite this alive
and I have never let myself take such a dive
into a thing quite this unknown or new
but I know I'm ready to jump into
this thing we call life because
I looked and I found you.
