[Intro] At first, I was lazy, I was pixel-fied, Thinking I could never live without my TV guide. But then I spent so many nights watching shows that made me snore, And I got bored, And I learned to change the channel more. [break] [verse 1] Now you're gone, Out of view, I've replaced you here With books and hikes and views. I should've sold that ancient box, Or at least lost the remote, If I'd've known for just one sec I'd be free of that old trope. [break] [Chorus] Go on now, go, switch off the screen, Just turn around now, You're no longer my routine. Weren’t you the one who tried to drown me in sitcom glees? Did you think I’d crumble? Did you think I’d forever binge and freeze? Oh no, not I, I will survive. Oh, as long as I have real life, I know I’ll truly thrive. I’ve got all my sights to see, And all this air to breathe and I will survive, I will survive, hey, hey. [Chorus] Go on now, go, switch off the screen, Just turn around now, You're no longer my routine. Weren’t you the one who tried to drown me in sitcom glees? Did you think I’d crumble? Did you think I’d forever binge and freeze? Oh no, not I, I will survive. Oh, as long as I have real life, I know I’ll truly thrive. I’ve got all my sights to see, And all this air to breathe and I will survive, I will survive, hey, hey. [break] [Verse 2] It took all the willpower I had not to fall apart, Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my lazy heart. And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for my plight, I used to sigh, But now I hold my head up high. And you’ll see me, somebody new, I’m not that chained up little person still in love with you. And so you felt like dropping in, And just expect me to be free, But now I’m saving all my love For activities that thrill me. [Bridge] Now go, walk out, leave that old show, Turn around now, You’re not welcome anymore. Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbyes? You think I'd crumble? You think I'd lay on my couch and die? [Outro] No, not I, I will survive. Oh, as long as I find fun outside, I know I’ll stay alive. I’ve got all my life to live, And all my love to give, and I’ll survive, I will survive.
