To Be Alive Again Lyrics

Doin' time...where it takes you
You know it's time that can break you
We get caught in the moment ...
Just sleepwalkin' most of our lives
In your mind (when you need it)
With a song (to help you believe it)
You can reinvent your world
Anytime you like

Chorus:
To be alive again...
Wakin' up from where you've been
Younger now than you were then
You're comin round again
Do you remember when...
life was so much simplier then
Like summer nights that never end
To be alive again

Find the smile you've been missin'
There's someone that you could be kissin'
So open your eyes and you'll see
What's been there all along

Letting go (of your feelings)
With doubt and fear (you don't need it)
Break the chains on the heart of the soul
That's been waiting so long

Repeat Chorus

To be alive again

You're not among the walkin' wounded anymore
There's a time to fall
There's a time to rise above it all

Repeat Chorus

To be alive again
(To be alive again)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
