The Living

I hear it coming
It’s coming this way
It’s digging me up
The dead have been raised

But life is for living
So take me to the beating heart
We’re following the moving sound
Out into the dark

And it’s hard to quite describe it
Like we're part of
Part of something bigger
Not another

Lonely little heartbeat
In the city
Only we could hold it
For a minute

The night is a-crawl
With vampires and night owls
Our bodies are a-buzzing
We’re joining the prowl

And it’s hard to quite describe it
Like we're part of
Part of something bigger
Not another
Lonely little heartbeat
In the city
Only we could hold it
For a minute

It’s for the living
We don’t have to try
‘cause aren’t we alive

Deep in the dark
Something is hidden
Hovering just out of frame
Something we’re missing

And it’s hard to quite describe it
Like we're part of
Part of something bigger
Not another
Lonely little heartbeat
In the city
Only we could hold it
For a minute

It’s for the living
We don’t have to try
‘cause aren’t we alive

It’s for the living
We don’t have to try
‘cause aren’t we alive
