This is kinda different for me; I was just seeing how it would turn out if I wrote a song where I didn't try to make every line seem profound. It's sort of a happy, poppy acoustic song (which is weird for me), but I inexplicably like it. Tell me what you think.

[U]Look Alive[/U]

I met you on the street and you said "Hey who's left?"
When I said you were the only one, you turned around and left with me
It was so cold a day my skin was white and peeling
But I think I look alive today

We got to my place and I set you up
We took it easy and I asked you what you're all about
And before I had time to second-guess my feelings, you said
"I'd show you but you look a little down"

I guess I'd look alive for you (x4)

I saw you on the street and you said "Hey what's new"
I told you everything, you listened and you smiled at me
It was so cold a day we both were nearly freezing
You said "that's what I do" and walked away

I guess I'd look alive for you (x4)
