Reasons to Stay Alive Lyrics by Emily Kinney

Swimteam

[Verse 1]
If your money runs out, if your lover runs away
If you find yourself crying at the start of the day
You gotta touch one toe to the cold wood floor
You gotta try a few steps though your legs are sore
[Chorus]
Then suddenly the sound of angels all around
Lost and then found within the hour
From dark to light, from winter to summer
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I look in the mirror and stare at my face
Just a mess of missed marks all over the place
Just a stack of papers and a carrot chase
Just another number in the human race
But then I smell the coffee and I crave a shower
I think I’d likе to stay at least another hour
[Chorus]
Then suddеnly the sound of angels all around
Lost and then found within the hour
From dark to light, from winter to summer
[Verse 3]
Oh, I had a dream last night of an empty drawer
I used to want a bunch of stuff, but I don’t care anymore
I wanna be like my dream, clean and clear
I wanna act out of love instead of fear
I wanna solve the puzzle of my bad brain waves
Why do we grow so tall just to crumble and fade?
Why do I reach so high just to look down and dive?
I make a list of reasons to stay alive
[Chorus]
Then suddenly the sound of angels all around
Lost and then found within the hour
From dark to light, from winter to summer
[Outro]
From dark to light, from winter to summer
From dark to light, from winter to summer
From dark to light, from winter to summer
From dark to light, from winter to summer
