about

"This guy, well, a kid, actually he's a teenager, anyway he's really happy that his little brother is no longer on the verge of death due to a lingering medical condition."

Being alive; almost being dead.

lyrics

I don't have much but I'm glad
Don't have many things but I'm not sad.
'cause you're still here
and things are good when you're alive.

I can't go many places but that's fine,
'cause your hand is tracing over my mind.
And you're not gone
so things are good when you're alive.

I don't wanna give your life up
I almost lost you once that won't happen again.
There's always something to gain
and something to lose.
The last thing I'm willing to lose is you.

Won't eat every meal but I'll live
don't have much to take but I still give.
Whatever you need
'cause things are good when you're alive.

I may have been cut but I won't bleed,
won't see my friends but you're all I need.
til you are stabilized
things are good when you're alive.

Never wanna hear your heart stop.
Almost lost you once that won't happen again.
I want to tell you and what I tell you is true.
The last thing I'm willing to lose is you.

I'll never hear that you've gone
I won't be here when they say you've moved on.
I will live in the past as long as I can.
And I will be stuck to the ground
as long as I stand.

And I will protest from my feet to my finger tips
straight up to the clear sky blue
The last thing I'm willing to lose is you.
