Have You Ever Really Lived

Have you ever walked a high pass

Watched the Northern Lights flash

Took a photograph on a Paris street

Have you ever climbed a tall tree

Asked someone for mercy

Gave something away that wasn't free

I don't wanna get a vision of you stuck in my head

Because I know that you were meant to be wilder

Another night of television while you're lying in bed

Is slowly gonna be the death for you

Have you ever really lived

You talk a big game but

It's just a matter of time

Have you ever really lived

We're all on the clock here

In the blink of an eye you're a goner

So for once in your life try the deeper water

Feel the pull of whatever is out there

And ask yourself this once

Have you ever really lived?

Have you ever used your hands to

Build something from scratch that

Wasn't even for you (have you ever?)

When you hear the waves are crashing

Over Nazare, man, don't you wanna see them

And I don't wanna get a vision of you stuck in my head

Because I know that you were meant to be wilder

Another night of television while you're stuck in your head

Is that really how it's gonna be

Have you ever really lived

You talk a big game but

It's just a matter of time

Have you ever really lived

We're all on the clock here

In the blink of an eye you're a goner

So for once in your life try the deeper water

Feel the pull of whatever is out there

And ask yourself this once

Have you ever really lived?
