Kodaline

Human Again

From Coming Up For Air2015

Written by Jacknife Lee, Jason Boland, Mark Prendergast

Lyrics

Human Again

[Verse 1]

I don’t even recognise

When I look into your eyes

All that I can ever see

Is trouble hanging over me

[Verse 2]

Trouble, trouble, trouble hanging over me

Trouble, trouble, trouble’s all I ever see

[Chorus 1]

I’ve got a pain in my heart and a pain in my chest

I want to be human again

I’ve got a pain in my head and I’m losing my breath

I want to be human again

Human again

Human again

Human again

Human again

I want to be human again

Human again

[Verse 3]

I can feel it in my bones

I don’t want to die alone

When all I ever get is rain

Help me see the sun again

[Verse 4]

I can see a change in me

Makes me feel alive again

[Chorus 2]

I’ve got a pain in my heart and a pain in my chest

I want to be human again

I’ve got a pain in my head and I’m losing my breath

I want to be human again

Human again, human again, human again

I want to be human again

[Verse 5]

I’ll keep on fighting and I’ll keep on trying

I know there’s a light in the dark

Open your eyes to the beauty inside

Of your body, your soul, and your heart

[Bridge]

I want to feel human

I want to be human

[Pre-Chorus]

What a beautiful feeling

I’m coming alive

I want to be human

I want to be human again

[Chorus 3]

I’ve got a pain in my heart and a pain in my chest

I want to be human again

I’ve got a pain in my head and I’m losing my breath

I want to be human again, human again
