You

Had hope once
A chance to hold on
These tender touches
Couldn't hold it very long
The lake filled up
The drought left town
I sat in its car while it all went down
Lost it on a child's dare

So why am I alive?

80 miles an hour
Driving down desert land
Travelling salesman
Remembering again
The game is up
It's gone too long
Life moves past if you fail to move on
Lost it in an old man's stare

So why am I alive?

I sat and stared and thought too much
I spent my nights in a wanderlust
Till fate too me and made me look
You caught my eye gifted your touch
And I found my purpose right there

So why am I alive?
You
