You were heading for the coast With a single bag of clothes Well you hitchhiked from those Appalachian hills Traced your name into the sand Life wasn't as you'd planned You fell for every prophet on the way Oh, but you finally feel at home again Throwing caution to the wind You were at the start of this waiting to begin Life is short but you still have some time Starin' at the water line You could see your whole life right before your eyes Oh, you feel alive Oh, feel alive Oh Never thought you'd run away Nеver had a debt to pay But you knew that you'd rеgret it if you'd stayed Is there magic in these waves? Do they have a will to save? 'Cause you've never gotten half of what you gave Oh, but you finally feel at home again Throwing caution to the wind You were at the start of this just waiting to begin Life is short but you still have some time Starin' down the water line You could see your whole life right before your eyes Oh, you feel alive Oh, feel alive Oh, feel alive Oh, feel alive Oh You had landed on the coast With a single bag of clothes Laid on your back and stared up to the sky Oh, 'cause you finally feel at home again Throwing caution to the wind You were at the start of this waiting to begin Life is short but you still have some time Starin' down the water line You could see your whole life right before your eyes Oh, you feel alive, alive Feel alive, alive Feel alive, alive Feel alive, alive
