You've heard this same old line
A hundred times before
And I'll come crawling back
'Cause i can't take much more
Can't take much moreThe things I'm working for
Yeah they just don't mean much
'Cause it will never last
And we'll just end up crushedI want to be among the living
Not just, not just getting by
Not just, not just getting byAnd so the day begins
And everything is new
And I will memorize
Every word you said
That's what I'll doThe things I'm working for
Yeah they just don't mean much
'Cause it will never last
And I'll just end up crushedI want to be among the living
Not just, not just getting by
I want to be among the living
Wake up, give it one more tryI want to be among the living
Not just, not just getting by
I want to be among the living
Wake up, give it one more tryNow the sun of the summer's on my face
You have given me so much life to taste
I'm alive in the warmth of your embrace
I'm alive in the warmth of your embraceI want to be among the living
Not just, not just getting by
I want to be among the living
Wake up, give it one more tryI want to be among the living
Not just, not just getting by
I want to be among the living
Wake up, wake up this time
