[Verse]
If I am lost for a day, try to find me
But if I don't come back, then I won't look behind me

And when I awoke I was sure it was true

And said "Whoever is up there, please don't let me die"
But I can't live forever, I can't always be
One day I'll be sand on a beach by the sea
The pages keep turning, I'll mark off each day with a cross
And I'll laugh about all that we've lost
[Chorus]
Calendar girl who is lost to the world, stay alive
Calendar girl who is lost to the world, stay alive
[Outro]
January, February, March, April, May
I'm alive
June, July, August, September, October
I'm alive
November, December, yeah all through the winter
I'm alive
I'm alive
