[Verse 1] I wake with a pulse in the walls A name, a face, a room The ordinary opens its hands And gives me something new I carry the weight of a tear The heat behind a laugh A quiet ache, a sudden joy Each one a little map [Pre-Chorus] Every color has a cost Every wound can let light through What a strange and sacred gift To be changed by what we move through [Chorus] I get a life, I get a life To feel it all beneath my skin The breaking and the beautiful The loss that lets the love begin I get a life, I get a life No moment asking to be spared A thousand hearts inside one heart And I am lucky to be there [Verse 2] The hand that trembles on the glass The letter never sent The friend who stays beside the bed When all the words are spent A summer ending at the gate A winter turning green The way regret can teach the eyes To notice what they mean [Pre-Chorus] Every color has a cost Every wound can let light through What a strange and sacred gift To be changed by what we move through [Chorus] I get a life, I get a life To feel it all beneath my skin The breaking and the beautiful The loss that lets the love begin I get a life, I get a life No moment asking to be spared A thousand hearts inside one heart And I am lucky to be there [Bridge] Let the sorrow take its seat Let the wonder flood the room Let the fear arrive and leave Let the tender thing resume I would not trade the scar away Or drain the thunder from the rain If this is what it means to live Then let me meet it all again [Final Chorus] I get a life, I get a life To feel it all beneath my skin The breaking and the beautiful The loss that lets the love begin I get a life, I get a life With every door and every dare A thousand hearts inside one heart And I am lucky to be there [Outro] I get a life I get to feel I get a life And this is real
