Good to Be Alive Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Learning how to swim, but the land's all dry
Feeling like a shark; if I stop, I’ll die
(Woah-oh, woah-oh)
Veins are lit and my blood's on fire
Underneath the buzz of a telephone wire
(Woah-oh, woah-oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
All my friends are doing fine
While I'm looking for a sign
Is this body even mine?
Feels good to be alive, but I hate my life
[Chorus]
So tied up and tired of this self-inflicted fight
In spite of, I light up to lift my demons, I
Tell myself I’m fine
While I'm looking for a sign
Is this body even mine?
Feels good to be alive, but I hate my life
[Post-Chorus]
Woah-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Woah-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
[Verse 2]
Lost big dreams that I really don't need
Everything I love's gonna find a way to leave
(Woah-oh, woah-oh)
Got good friends that I never can see
Always on the run when their plans are free
(Woah-oh, woah-oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been staying up all night
Shaking needles out my spine
But the doctor says I'm fine
Feels good to be alive, but I hate my life
[Chorus]
So tied up and tired of this self-inflicted fight
In spite of, I light up to lift my demons, I
Tell myself I'm fine
While I'm looking for a sign
Is this body even mine?
Feels good to be alive, but I hate my life
[Post-Chorus]
Woah-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Woah-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Woah-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Good to be alive, good to be alive
Woah-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Good to be alive, but I hate my life
[Chorus]
So tied up and tired of this self-inflicted fight
In spite of, I light up to lift my demons, I
Tell myself I’m fine
While I’m looking for a sign
Is this body even mine?
Feels (Good to be alive, but I hate my life)
[Post-Chorus]
Woah-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Woah-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

What did PVRIS say about "Good to Be Alive"?
The line in this—"It feels good to be alive but I hate my life"—is supposed to be a little cheeky and a little bit funny. But it’s also supposed to be completely honest. JT had set up a little miniature writing camp with some awesome writers. And there was one day we were just working alone, and dur...
What have the artists said about the song?
[Good To Be Alive] is about being run down but still being expected to show up and be on. I think most people in music understand that pressure to keep going, keep moving and keep putting out as much content as you possibly can, especially in this day and age. People have short attention spans now,...
