[Verse 1]
Pressing on about our business
Comfort is getting too expensive
Hot-shots for the pigeons with a death sentence
You’re something like a pistol
That’s been polished bright
But if it never leaves the holster
It can never save your life
[Hook]
I need a meaning I can get behind
(To be alone, to be alive)
A better message to subscribe to
(To be alone, to be alive)
[Verse 2]
Set sun, I’m an hour older
Mile markers punctuate the shoulder
Harboring delusions of grandeur
You’re something like a canvas
That’s been stretched and primed
You could become something priceless
Or you could be a waste of time
[Hook]
I need a meaning I can get behind
(To be alone, to be alive)
A better message to subscribe to
(To be alone, to be alive)
This is the best time to be alive
(To be alone, to be alive)
You see where complaining gets you
(To be alone, to be alive)
[Bridge]
We’re living much too
We’re living much too comfortably for me
Keep drifting
Keep drifting aimlessly
Stay with me (stay with me)
And we’ll stay busy (stay busy)
Endless trips to anywhere
To end up where we’ll be
[Hook]
I need a meaning I can get behind
(To be alone, to be alive)
A better message to subscribe to
(To be alone, to be alive)
This is the best time to be alive
(To be alone, to be alive)
You see it, where complaining gets you
(To be alone, to be alive)
