Still Breathing

I've walked so close to death
 But I never stop to check and see if I'm still breathing
 I've got so much life left
 My fortune is the fact that my heart's still beating
 A few years ago, driving from the studio back home
 With heavy eyes and no attention to the passing signs
 The possibility of dying alone seemed a little bit too trivial to occupy my mind
 I almost lost control
 I'm not invincible
 Near death experiences make me realize
 That I got more to live for,
 And I don't want to let go
 I've walked so close to death
 But I never stop to check and see if I'm still breathing
 I've got so much life left
 My fortune is the fact that my heart's still beating
 Well I can't say that my beliefs were always consistent
 Living every minute on the edge of existence
 I don't know if I believe in fate
 But I'm grateful for another honest chance to listen
 To the positive message that I often neglected
 I'll scream it out until my lungs are arrested
 I realize that I have more to live for,
 And I don't want to let go
 I've walked so close to death
 But I never stop to check and see if I'm still breathing
 I've got so much life left
 My fortune is the fact that my heart's still beating
 I've walked so close to death
 But I never stop to check and see if I'm still breathing
 I've got so much life left
 My fortune is the fact that my heart's still beating
 I'm still breathing
 I finally feel alive
 (I'm still breathing)
 I'll take advantage of my time here
 I finally feel alive
 I'm still breathing
 I finally feel alive
 (I'm still breathing)
 I've got everything I'll ever need
 I finally feel alive
