Somewhere between happy, and total fucking wreck
Feet sometimes on solid ground, sometimes at the edge
To spend your waking moments, simply killing time
Is to give up on your hopes and dreams, to give up on your...
Life for you, (who we are) has been less than kind
So take a number, (who we are) stand in line
We've all been sorry, (who we are) we've all been hurt
But how we survive, (who we are) is what makes us who we are
An obvious disinterest, a barely managed smile
A deep nod in agreement, a status quo exile
I shirk my obligations, I miss all your deadlines
I excel at quitting early, and fucking up my life
Life for you, (who we are) has been less than kind
So take a number, (who we are) stand in line
We've all been sorry, (who we are) we've all been hurt
But how we survive, (who we are) is what makes us who we are
All smiles and sunshine, a perfect world on a perfect day
Everything always works out, I have never felt so fucking great
All smiles and sunshine, a perfect world on a perfect day
Everything always works out, I have never felt so great
(Life isn't like this)
(Life isn't like this)
(Life isn't like this)
(Life isn't like this)
(Life isn't like this) Life isn't like this
(Life isn't like this) Life isn't like this
(Life isn't like this) Are we verging on an answer,
or fucking up our...
Life for you, (who we are) has been less than kind
So take a number, (who we are) stand in line
We've all been sorry, (who we are) we've all been hurt
But how we survive, (who we are) is what makes us who we are
(Who we are)
It's what makes us who we are
(Who we are)
Makes us who we are
(Who we are)
It's what makes us who we are
(Who we are)

Review about Survive Speaks by it's own | Reviewer: Tal | 6/22/09
The songs makes it clear to everyone Life sucks and we're here to fix it,that's my moto.And it's true the way you survive the painful things at life is what makes you who you are.My friends come to me shocked "How can you still be happy?" "You're just weird I can't believe you can still smile"
"I don't know how you smile after that"
And my answer is always:"If you wouldn't smile for life they won't smile back at ya"
Beats evey song I have ever heard. When I bought he album I didn't think I would love this song but now I have memorized the entire song. =). So don't give up on your damn life you emos out there.
Amazingly | Reviewer: Nikolas | 10/5/08
I know this speaks to many people, as it relates to a lot of people that I personally know. Those people that say "I hurt so bad all the time" and whatnot. Well, it happens to everyone so stop acting like you're the only one..
I've found my own way to survive, and it makes me who I am, just like the song says. People adore me for the way I'm always happy. Even when I'm hurt I manage to forgive the person and I put it all behind me in an instant.

i adore this song and i dedicated to one special person who knows for real the meaning of survival..
casually i found it on surfing on youtube since Mtv does only timbadlake and rap shit like that "lately"
Hey just wondering if anybody else is reckons the lyrics are talking about that piont where ur so sick of the small fry bullshit that some idiot is bogged down in and nobody is seeing the big picture... so frustrating when they're all so full of shit worrying about complete crap and then getting the shits with you coz u don't give a shit about wot they're crapping on about...this song is R.A.'s answer to all those beaurocratic idiots that make my day ten times harder than it needs to be.
this may have been the worst slaughter of lyrics i have ever seen. And of one of my favorite songs. whoever wrote these im going to find you, ninja you into itty bitty peices and feed you to my dog. after i buy 1
Dude! There are several problems with these lyrics!
1: You're MISSING THE FIRST LINE!
"Somewhere between happy, and total fucking wreck,"
2: Dont bleep out the fucking curse words, the band didnt sing their song just to have some words changed to a "*beep*"
wtf | Reviewer: Char | 3/22/08
whoever decided to edit the lyrics for vulgarity reasons needs to chilll out. the artist made the song they want it, the correct version would be without the little "beeping" things you felt the need to insert. when you decide to make a band someday, go ahead and make all the curse free songs you want. but leave these songs alone. if you don't want kids to READ the curse words, don't let them on the computer.
