Too Alive

Verse 1

Took my good shoes out in the rain,

Made a big splash in a boring day.

Got no clue what the plan should be,

But the afternoon belongs to me.

Bought a cheap guitar with a missing string,

Found three chords that could fix anything.

Neighbor yelled, “Can you keep it down?”

Now she’s on the porch singing louder than the crowd!

Pre-Chorus

I’m done rehearsing for a life someday—

Count me in, I’m playing today!

Chorus

I’m too alive to give a fuck!

Too busy dancing to be stuck!

Got my own name on the guest list,

Kissing goodbye to the second-guessing!

Hey! Hey! Turn that good shit up!

Let a little wild run through my blood!

I’ve got one life, and I’m showing up—

Too damn alive to give a fuck!

Verse 2

Wore that outfit I was saving,

For a version of me worth celebrating.

Turns out she was here all along,

Just needed boots and a better song.

Made a wrong turn, found a street fair,

Bought ridiculous sunglasses, don’t care.

Looked like trouble, felt like June—

There’s a whole wide world outside my room.

Pre-Chorus

Let them have opinions; I’ve got plans.

There’s a band outside—come grab my hand!

Chorus

I’m too alive to give a fuck!

Too busy dancing to be stuck!

Got my own name on the guest list,

Kissing goodbye to the second-guessing!

Hey! Hey! Turn that good shit up!

Let a little wild run through my blood!

I’ve got one life, and I’m showing up—

Too damn alive to give a fuck!

Bridge — building from a clap and a kick drum

I care about my people,

I care about my heart.

I care about the things I make,

Even when they fall apart.

But looking cool for strangers?

Making everybody pleased?

That’s a full-time job I quit—

I’ve got somewhere else to be!

Breakdown — shouted

WHO’S GOT TWO LEFT FEET?

ME! ME!

WHO’S STILL GONNA DANCE?

ME! ME!

WHO’S DONE WAITING FOR A BETTER DAY?

THEN GET UP HERE—LET’S PLAY!

Final Chorus

We’re too alive to give a fuck!

Too busy singing to shut up!

Put your own name on the guest list,

Bring that beautifully weird existence!

Hey! Hey! Turn that good shit up!

There’s a whole lot of joy left in us!

We’ve got one life, and we’re showing up—

Too damn alive to give a fuck!

Outro

Rain came down.

Band played on.

Nobody looked cool—

Everybody sang along.
