Yellowcard - Here I Am Alive Lyrics






If I could write to the kid I was before,
I'd tell him you'll get everything you ever wanted,
But you will still want more.
Someone's going to tell you
Who should want to be
So you'll forget the vision that they didn't want to see
And when they give up, cause they will give up say
Here I am alive.

[Hook:]
They say you don't grow up
You just grow old,
It's safe to say I haven't done both
I made mistakes, I know, I know
But here I am alive.
So many people close to me cut me down,
This is supposed to be a bad luck town
I jumped, I fell, I hit the ground.
But here I am alive.

If I could write to myself
When I was on top of it all,
I'd say you're going overboard
and when you're falling
You're gonna feel so small,
Someone's gonna tell you that you deserve the worst,
They'll say you're never coming back
And tell you that you're cursed.
And when they give up, cause they always give up.
Say, here I am alive.

[Hook:]
They say you don't grow up
You just grow old,
It's safe to say I haven't done both
I made mistakes, I know, I know
But here I am alive.
So many people close to me cut me down,
This is supposed to be a bad luck town
I jumped, I fell, I hit the ground.
But here I am alive.

(Alive alive alive alive alive)

And when they give up, cause they will give up
Say: Here I am alive!
When they give up, cause they always give up
Say: Here I am alive!

[Hook:]
They say you don't grow up
You just grow old,
It's safe to say I haven't done both
I made mistakes, I know, I know
But here I am alive.
So many people close to me cut me down,
This is supposed to be a bad luck town
I jumped, I fell, I hit the ground.
But here I am alive.

Here I am alive!
Here I am alive!
Here I am alive!
Here I am alive!

If I could write to the kid I was before

  16. K.... C....

    yellowcard, can you please make a lyric video for "Sing for me".. the copyright thingie is making it impossible to find a lyric video of that song.

  17. G.... M....

    Dear Yellowcard, 5 years ago on my birthday (in August) I heard this. I remember crying how much the lyrics have an impact on me. Please now that years later I still feel the same and even more grateful that I can sing to it with much more confidence. Thanks for helping me become stronger, for reminding me that here I am alive. It means so much. More power to you guys hopefully. <3

  29. S.... B....

    "They say you don't grow up, you just grow old
    It's safe to say I haven't done both!"
    So simple but so much meaning, i LOVE it!!

  30. T.... M....

    I'm somewhat disappointed in Yellowcard for straying so close to the pop end of the pop-punk spectrum, but I can't deny this is a really catchy song.

    T.... M....

    Well. Simple Plan's pop tracks in their newest album were more disappointing than this (and the tracks of Lift A Sail) could ever be.

  31. K.... ....

    love this.

  32. n.... ....

    #thechallenge

  33. O.... L....

    This song o:

  49. K.... J....

    they're such a great band

  50. N.... R....

    Yellowcard: Making relevant songs since its inception. And making them excellent, even as they change pace over the years.

  51. m.... ....

    LOL i dont know why you word it so serious it made me laugh.. and i respect your opinion

  52. o.... ....

    Man Overboard is fucking awful. They try too hard to copy Blink-182 and their lead singer's voice is just so damn annoying.

  53. o.... ....

    I think I just found love in a Hopeless place.

  54. B.... ....

    That moment when a song finds your fancy because it describes you :3

  55. O.... ....

    These lyrics are basically me right now. But I feel they should have played this in the minor.

  56. m.... ....

    and man overboard

  57. R.... L....

    Inspirational song; loved Yellowcard since I first heard them years and years ago, and still love them!

  58. S.... S....

    and BLINK 182!!!!!!

  59. C.... N....

    This is such a great song! :D

  60. m.... a....

    they should not have featured tay jardine because her part was nothing. in comparison mark hoppus had more of a part in thank and goodnight from tonight alive and that was hardly anything as well.

  61. P.... B....

    You fucking said it !! but also We Are The In Crowd

  62. A.... R....

    you forgot to mention Sum 41. Now is complete! :)

  63. �.... �....

    and We Are The In Crowd, Coldplay, Nickelback, Linkin Park.....

  64. H.... B....

    have you been sleeping for four months?

  65. C.... S....

    I love this song!!! My friend and me were listening to music and she told me to listen to this song and i fell in love with it xD best song ever!!

  66. M.... K....

    If my life had a soundtrack this would be on it

  67. Y.... ....

    This song keeps me going when I feel like giving up on my dreams. Thank you Yellowcard, for motivating me.

  68. Y.... Y....

    Awesome!!:)

  69. N.... C....

    AMAZING

  70. D.... M....

  78. A.... P....

  79. J.... I....

  80. D.... ....

    GO!!! PATRICK STUMP

  81. I.... ....

    I'm not gonna argue that, you're entitled to your opinion. xD
    Just sayin, they still make good music! :)

  82. C.... d....

    esta chidisimo

  83. j.... ....

    I love how both top comments reference Simple Plan, my 2nd favorite band right behind Yellowcard <3

  84. J.... ....

    muffinsex

  85. s.... ....

    You have your opinion, i have mine. I prefer Simple Plan's music in the early 2000's to now but i still like their recent music :)

  86. I.... ....

    Not really, In my opinion they have progressed.. :)

  87. C.... G....

    I completely agree. The last two records are just terrible.

  88. s.... ....

    I know but i mean the time when 'I'm just a kid' and 'Welcome to my life' were about, the best of Simple Plan.

  89. I.... ....

    they're still around you know..xD

  90. m.... ....

    THIS SONG IS AWESOME ! Nuff said (:

  91. C.... ....

    I just loved this song! I love the lyrics, most of all. It's great :)

  92. A.... S....

    Yeah, no, first 2 songs on the album are vintage Yellowcard, so is most of it.

  93. A.... R....

    I think you mean to say that "you don't think it's pop punk"

    To each their own. Your opinion doesn't change what everyone else thinks it is.

  94. G.... F....

    Pop means popular music, and this is a punk band, therefore it is pop punk
