What It Takes To Come Alive
(music by Eddie Biggins
lyric adapted by Eddie Biggins from the poem by Natalie Silva)

We fell in love in such a hopeless place
You were drooling on my shoulder
The others had scattered and there I was
Still in last night’s clothes

You fed me crackers 'cause I felt so sick
You held me though your skin was colder
It wasn't my forte, could not keep up
With the life we chose

We take what we think we need
In order to survive
Until we find
What it takes to come alive

Back to the bathroom one more time again
To purge the little left inside me
I slept a little, or so I thought
Or perhaps I died

No one could help me, nothing they could do
Only I could break what tied me
Then after the crash, I reawoke to life
On the other side

We take what we think we need
In order to survive
Until we find
What it takes to come alive
