Aching to Feel Alive


[Vs] Gold on the ceiling, gold in a touch

Oh, the lovers in their feelings say there’s nothing like the rush

Of a steady heartbeat beating

With a stranger’s heart in time

I’d like to know the feeling 

Someday before I die so someone


[Ch] Teach me how to dance so I will too learn how to fly 

Whether tethered to the floorboards 

Or let loose up in the sky, oh there’s

Riches in the rhythm and there’s

Sweet in by and by

Either way I’m aching just to feel alive 

Either way I’m aching just to feel alive 


[Vs] In my dreams he’s like a spirit

Like his feet don’t touch the ground

And his shadow right behind him’s

The only thing that can hold him down

And he’s patient and he’s gentle 

And he’s stern and sentimental

And his hands are worn down leather

And I’m lighter than a feather and he’ll 

[Repeat Chorus]


[Ch] He’ll teach me how to dance and 

He’ll teach me how to fly and

I won’t fret about my hands and I won’t

Have to wonder why and he’ll 

Teach me how to live and he’ll

Teach me how to breath and for the first time

I’ll finally see

I don’t have to ache to feel alive
