[INTRO | soft engine hum, tape hiss, distant early morning birds] Yeah… Sun’s comin’ up again [VERSE 1 | restrained, observational] Fell asleep in yesterday’s clothes Woke up with the lamp still on Cigarette burns the back of my throat Still inhale deep and move along Neighbor draggin’ trash outside Same time every Tuesday morning Funny how the world keeps movin’ Even when you feel stopped inside [CHORUS | catchy, bittersweet, understated] Maybe I’m not alright Maybe I never was But I’m still breathin’ tonight Guess that’s alive enough Still here when the sky turns blue Still wake up and make it through Might not feel like much But it’s alive enough [VERSE 2 | different imagery, more personal] Missed a few calls from my friends Stared at ‘em, then went back to sleep Not because I don’t love them Just hard to feel like bein’ seen There’s a crack runnin’ through the ceiling I keep lookin’ at when I can’t rest Like if I stare long enough Maybe my head’ll finally quiet down [CHORUS | fuller instrumentation] Maybe I’m not alright Maybe I never was But I’m still breathin’ tonight Guess that’s alive enough Still here when the sky turns blue Still wake up and make it through Might not feel like much But it’s alive enough [BRIDGE | stripped, emotionally honest] Spent years thinkin’ survival didn’t count… Maybe it does [FINAL REFRAIN | looping, warm but tired] Still drivin’ Still dreamin’ Still wakin’ up most mornings Still hurt sometimes Still get stuck But I’m alive enough [OUTRO | sunrise ambience fading in] Yeah… Maybe that’s enough for now
