- Josh Gracin - "I Want To Live"
Sometimes I feel like I need to shake myself, to wake myself:
I feel like I'm just sleep walkin' through out life.
It's like I'm swimmin' in an ocean of emotion,
But still, somehow, slowly goin' numb inside.
I don't like who I'm becomin', I know I've gotta do somethin',
Before my life passes right by.
I want to cry like the rain, cry like the rain,
An' shine like the sun on a beautiful mornin'.
Sing to the heavens like a church bell ringin',
Fight with the devil an' go down swingin'.
Fly like a bird, roll like a stone,
Love like I ain't afraid to be alone.
Take everything that this world has to give:
I wanna live.
Sometimes I wonder why I work so hard to guard my heart.
Well, I hardly feel anything at all.
I've spent my whole life buildin' up this ivory tower.
Now that I'm in it, I keep wishin' it would fall.
So I can feel the ground beneath me, really taste this air I'm breathin',
And know that I'm alive.
I want to cry like the rain, cry like the rain,
An' shine like the sun on a beautiful mornin'.
Sing to the heavens like a church bell ringin',
Fight with the devil an' go down swingin'.
Fly like a bird, roll like a stone,
Love like I ain't afraid to be alone.
Take everything that this world has to give:
I wanna live,
I wanna live.
Somethin' deep inside keeps sayin' life is like a vapor:
It's gone in just the twinklin' of an eye.
I want to cry like the rain, cry like the rain,
An' shine like the sun on a beautiful mornin'.
Sing to the heavens like a church bell ringin',
Fight with the devil an' go down swingin'.
Fly like a bird, roll like a stone,
Love like I ain't afraid to be alone.
Take everything that this world has to give.
I wanna take every breath I can get:
I wanna live.

(Darryl Hall, Kevin Savigar and Marcel Chagnon)
It was noon time, down time, break time, summer time, Miller time, anytime:
She was looking pretty fine.
Red light, green light, go: all fired upside, downtown:
She was shaking me all around.
I was tuned in, going nowhere, second wind,
Jonesing, drooling, feeling good, if you would.
Oh yeah, by the way she moves,
She's got me rollin' in dirt: in a white t-shirt,
Breaker, Breaker one-nine, she's a big ol' flirt.
By now she's got me pretty tied up, tied down,
Any way I choose, I got nothin' to lose.
In like Flynn, I was looking for the win,
Just trying anything, hey,
Baby, where you been?
All my life I've been looking for someone like you.
Falling head over heels,
Hey what can I do?
Oh yeah, by the way she moves,
She's got me rollin' in dirt: in a white t-shirt,
Breaker, Breaker one-nine, she's a big ol' flirt.
By now she's got me pretty tied up, tied down,
Any way I choose, I got nothin' to lose.
Now, I'm in the fast lane goin' ninety-eight.
By now, I know she can smooth operate me.
I know now, she's no goody-two-shoes,
But hey, I got myself nothin' to lose.
Oh yeah, by the way she moves,
She's got me rollin' in dirt: in a white t-shirt,
Breaker, Breaker one-nine, she's a big ol' flirt.
By now she's got me pretty tied up, tied down,
Any way I choose, I got nothin' to lose.
Oh yeah, by the way she moves,
She's got me rollin' in dirt: in a white t-shirt,
Breaker, Breaker one-nine, she's a big ol' flirt.

Any way I choose, I got nothin' to lose.

In like Flynn, I was looking for the win. (I got me nothin' to lose.)
Just trying anything, hey baby where you been?
All my life I've been looking for someone like you.
Falling head over heels,
Hey what can I do?
I got nothin' to lose, yeah.
