[Verse 1]

1987

The oak broke through my window

Missed me by an inch

Winter '17

A deer caught in the headlights

Swerved into a ditch

1985

Missed the boat to England

The next week it had sunk

Autumn 20-oh-9

Blacked out on the drugs

Drank only to get drunk

[Chorus]

And it feels good to be with you, being alive

It feels good to be with you, being alive

I got five lives left, I'll save the rest

Choose my time to die

It feels good to be with you, being alive

[Verse 2]

1991

Fake superhero stalked me

I ran like the howling wind

1984

Racing down a church hill

Smashed to smithereens

2006

50cc on a mountain cliff

Crash right around the bend

Summer zero-seven

Boys on a London rooftop

Pulled back by my friends

[Chorus]

It feels good to be with you, being alive

It feels good to be with you, being alive

Got one life left, I'll trick my death

Choose my time to die

It feels good to be with you, being alive

[Bridge]

Wretched gods above us

Gave me a skeleton key to life

It's my pity party, gonna

Keep you up all night

[Chorus]

And it feels good to be with you, being alive

Solid ground I jumped down from the wire

Got one life left, I'll trick my death

Choose my time to die

It feels good to be with you, being alive

[Outro]

1987

Music came to find me

I've been lost in it since
