I Want To Live Lyrics by James Righton

Jim, I’m Still Here

2022

I dreamt of journeying up the Nile
I dreamt of crossing the Serengeti
I wanna climb Machu Picchu
I wanna stay a night on Easter Island
I wanna see it all
I wanna make up for all this lost time
I wanna get a photo of you and I honey standing at the top of the Eiffel Tower
I wanna make a reservation at all the high end restaurants we’ve watched on tv but we never got to go to
I wanna leave all these WhatsApp groups behind
I wanna stop making choices based on what you’ll think of me
I wanna care less about what playlists I’m on or how well a song streams
I’ll eat less meat
I’ll drink less
I’ll stop writing songs with too many chords
I’ll be more present
I’ll stop staring down at my phone
I’ll finish Magic Mountain
I’ll stop wasting time on things that really don’t matter
I’ll see more of the friends I love
But most of all
I wanna live
I wanna live
I just wanna live
I wanna live
I wanna live
Yeah I wanna live
I just wanna live
Just wanna live
All I need
Is you by my side
All I need is you
By my side
I don’t wanna make
The same mistakes again and again
I promise I won’t let you down
I’ll stop making excuses
We’ll do more together
The things we love
I just want to concentrate for a minute on the story
On the beat
I don’t wanna do another live stream concert
I don’t wanna see another cherry blossom tree from this room
I just wanna ride, ride, ride, ride
I just wanna ride, ride, ride, ride
I just wanna ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride
I just wanna ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride
Live
I just wanna live, live, live, live, live, live, live
I just wanna live, live, live, live, live, live, live
Yeah I wanna live
All I need
Is you by my side
All I need is you
By my side
