Ann-Marita: Music

Alive And Kickin'

(Ann-Marita)
Words and music by Ann-Marita Garsed
Alive And Kickin'
(VERSE 1:)

Got no shoebox full of letters
No photos left to burn
Yeah, the journal has been kept,
but the page has been turned

I’ve got a glass of chardonnay,
my favorite movie on
My life’s a lot less complex
since you’ve been gone

(PRE-CHORUS:)

I always took pride in
wearin’ my heart on my sleeve
And yes, I still do
It’s there for you to read,
It hurt to see you leave
for a day or two, ooh

(CHORUS:)

The world kept spinnin’ while
I wasn’t in it
Life won’t wait
Your memory’s fadin’ quick and I’m
alive and kickin’
So much to appreciate
Gonna do some livin’
while I’m alive and kickin’

(VERSE 2:)

Got some people who still love me
though I didn’t call’em for a while
Was busy findin’ what I wanted in a man
you missed by a mile

Also I’ve set aside some time
to spend with myself only, yeah yeah
To find out why they say alone
don’t have to mean lonely

(PRE-CHORUS:)

I’m rejuvenated,
now I can think straight again
Got a life to pursue
And all thanks to me
I got over you
to the other side of blue, ooh

(CHORUS REPEAT)
The world kept spinnin’ while
I wasn’t in it
Life won’t wait
Your memory’s fadin’ quick and I’m
alive and kickin’
So much to appreciate
Gonna do some livin’
while I’m alive and kickin’

(TAG):

Gonna do some livin’
while I’m alive and kickin’, yeah yeah
I’m rejuvenated, now I can think straight again
Oh, oh, I’m gonna do some livin’ while I’m alive … and kickin’, oh yeah
