why am I walking barefoot

upon this road with no one around

I close my eyes to this decision

the night's like coffee to my tongue

like waking up without a sound

I map the words out

maybe you will say them

would you help me rise up

touch my face and watch me try to breathe again

would you let me do this

burn down the final wall

overcome me baby

overcome me baby

overcome me baby

overcome me yeah

all I'm asking is to be alive for once

always I am mistaken

I look for love I find a stone

of all the seasons winter befriends me

I come to you in friendship

and hold my breath against the snow

what are you thinking as I gaze into you

forgive me the confusion

forgive me as I realize my thoughts betrayed

you are the answer

cry and smile the same

overcome me baby

overcome me baby

overcome me baby

overcome me yeah

all I'm asking is to be alive

all I'm asking is to be alive

overcome me baby

overcome me baby

overcome me baby

overcome me baby

overcome me baby

overcome me baby

overcome me baby

overcome me baby

all I'm asking is to be alive

for once
