Still Breathing

I've walked so close to death
But I never stop to check and see if I'm still breathing
I've got so much life left
My fortune is the fact that my heart's still beating

A few years ago, driving from the studio back home
With heavy eyes and no attention to the passing signs
The possibility of dying alone seemed a little bit too trivial to occupy my mind
I almost lost control
I'm not invincible
Near death experiences make me realize
That I got more to live for,
And I don't want to let go

I've walked so close to death
But I never stop to check and see if I'm still breathing
I've got so much life left
My fortune is the fact that my heart's still beating

Well I can't say that my beliefs were always consistent
Living every minute on the edge of existence
I don't know if I believe in fate
But I'm grateful for another honest chance to listen
To the positive message that I often neglected
I'll scream it out until my lungs are arrested
I realize that I have more to live for,
And I don't want to let go

I've walked so close to death
But I never stop to check and see if I'm still breathing
I've got so much life left
My fortune is the fact that my heart's still beating

I've walked so close to death
But I never stop to check and see if I'm still breathing
I've got so much life left
My fortune is the fact that my heart's still beating

I'm still breathing
I finally feel alive
(I'm still breathing)
I'll take advantage of my time here
I finally feel alive

I'm still breathing
I finally feel alive
(I'm still breathing)
I've got everything I'll ever need
I finally feel alive
