[Intro]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Oh oh oh

[Verse 1]
We're in it now, everybody knows
What I've become
Truth is I never once was sad
For what I've done
It's like a game where everybody dies
And has no fun
Still I want to play even if I end
Back where I've begun

[Chorus]
Because you make me feel alive
In spite of rising water
Abandoning my car
About a mile from nowhere
Because you make me feel alive
In spite of rising water
Abandoning my car
About a mile from nowhere
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
Mile from nowhere
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Mile from nowhere
Ooh, ooh
Oh oh oh

[Verse 2]
What happens now?
It's your lucky day
It's your lucky day
So write it down
Guess we're gone astray
Guess we're gone astray
I wish I cried
It's your lucky day
It's your lucky day
It wasn't mine
Guess we're gone astray
Guess we're gone astray

[Chorus]
Because you make me feel alive
In spite of rising water
Abandoning my car
About a mile from nowhere
Because you make me feel alive
In spite of rising water
Abandoning my car
About a mile from nowhere
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
Mile from nowhere
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Mile from nowhere
Ooh, ooh
Oh oh oh

[Bridge]
When I wake, realize you were gone
So I sat at the edge of the lawn
Days go by, still no sign of your ghost
Never call, never write, it's a loss

[Chorus]
Because you make me feel alive
In spite of rising water
Abandoning my car
About a mile from nowhere
Because you make me feel alive
In spite of rising water
Abandoning my car
About a mile from nowhere
You make me feel alive
In spite of rising water
Abandoning my car
About a mile from nowhere
Because you make me feel alive
In spite of rising water
Abandoning my car
About a mile from nowhere
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
Mile from nowhere
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Mile from nowhere
Ooh, ooh
Oh oh oh

[Outro]
Mile from nowhere
Mile from nowhere
