lyrics

The sound of the birds
And the big machines
Comes alive in the morning sun
But I don't mind anymore
I don't mind anymore
I've still got the rings in a wooden box
They never quite fit anyhow
But I don't mind anymore
I don't mind anymore

Well if I seem distant
If I've been out of touch
I'm a leaf on the water
I ain't doing much these days
I'm just staying alive
She'll be fine
Probably meet someone
I heard she moved out
Over the ocean
I'm just staying alive
I'm just staying alive

I can still see her dress and the hot air baloon
Seems so far from me now
But if she asks you how I've been doing
Tell her I'm staying alive
Took too long for us to understand
That most of what we had was gone
Now I'm just staying alive
I'm just staying alive
I'm just staying alive
