You've heard this same old line
A hundred times before
And I'll come crawling back
Cause I can't take much more
Can't take much more
The things I'm working for
Yeah they just don't mean much
Cause it will never last
And we'll just end up crushed
I want to be among the living
Not just, not just
Getting by
Not just, not just
Getting by
And so the day begins
And everything is new
And I will memorize
Every word you said
That's what I'll do
The things I'm working for
Yeah they just don't mean much
Cause it will never last
And I'll just end up crushed
I want to be among the living
Not just, not just
Getting by
I want to be among the living
Wake up, give it one more try
Now the sun of the summer's on my face
You have given me so much life to taste
I'm alive in the warmth of your embrace
I'm alive in the warmth of your embrace
I want to be among the living
Not just, not just
Getting by
I want to be among the living
Wake up, wake up this time
