Lyrics and translation
Original
In the back of the van across Ohio, trying hard to fake a smile.
Even if this dream is coming to an end.
'Cause like a flash in the pan, I'm out of style. Didn't go the extra mile.
Waited for those fifteen minutes to begin.
The doors were closing all around me, until I opened up my eyes.
And now it feels like I'm alive for the first time.
Yeah, it feels like I'm alive for the first time.
Rising up like a phoenix in the summer, everything in technicolor.
All my troubles in the rearview, far behind.
So call your friends, call your brother. Let's be good to one another, and meet me down at Ninth and
Nash on Tuesday night.
'Cause I've been waiting for this moment, so it comes as no surprise.
Now it feels like I'm alive for the first time.
Yeah, it feels like I'm alive for the first time.
For the first time.
Yeah, it feels like I'm alive. I wanna live.
No, there's nothing that I won't give to be back in the place where I belong.
We got one more song. I wanna breathe, feel the ground underneath my feet.
Let the wind fill the space between my lungs. Taste it on my tongue.
'Cause I've been waiting for this moment. So I'm gonna get it right.
Yeah, it feels like I'm alive for the first time.
