More Alive Than Dead

Put your arms around something breathing
I am here with you
But so is our present past we tried escaping

And if I let it phase me
My old life starts replacing you and I
Get these memories out of my head
Make me more alive than dead

So put your arms around me
And put the cards on the table
It's just you and I
With no distractions, our ghosts behind us

If we let it phase us
It might over take us, you and I
I know that we'll survive if we can let the dead just lie
And focus on the life that lies ahead
