Jackson Browne I`m Alive Lyrics

I`m Alive Lyrics

It`s been a long time since I watched these lights alone
I look around my life tonight and you are gone
I might have done something to keep you if I`d known
How unhappy you had become

While I was dreaming of you
With my heart in your hands
And I was following though
With my beautiful plans

Yeah now I`m rolling down this canyon drive
With your laughter in my head
I`m gonna have to block it out somehow to survive
`cause those dreams are dead
And I`m alive

I want to go where I will never hear your name
I want to lose my sorrow and be free again
And I know I`ve been insane
When I think of places I could have been

But I was dreaming of you
With my heart in your hands
And I was following through
With my beautiful plans

Standing here by the highway side
Watching these trucks blow by
Inches from my face
Yeah thinking `bout the time I`ve wasted
And the pleasure we once tasted
Looking up and down this road
I`ve been here before
Can`t be here no more

Yeah now I`m rolling down California five
With your laughter in my head
I`m gonna have to block it out somehow to survive
`cause those dreams are dead
And I`m alive

Hey look at the way I believed in you
And loved you all these years
Now you can fill a swimming pool with all my salty tears
If you`d have told me what was in your heart
Instead of all your lies
I thought that it would kill me
But I`m alive
Yeah, I`m alive
