Been alive been alive but I just woke up Been here all of my life but I'm picking up Picking up where I left off before I just seized up Can't recall, recall it all cos it was some days ago Been a lot going on and I'm way behind But I'm here and I'm trying and I'll tow the line All I need is a chance a single chance and I'll make it right There's been a mirror in my face and it chokes me up Oh I'm gonna stare into that gaze until they give up Every little step that I take... is progress There's been a clock counting down empty hours here And as the minutes fly by I'm working overtime Working on getting my mind around this road ahead Can't go back Can't go backwards
