La canzone è un riferimento al periodo di riabilitazione del frontman della band Billie Joe Armstrong nel 2012, per via di alcol e droghe. Nel video ufficiale del brano si vede un gruppo di persone che camminano da sole e libere, come dicessero che nonostante tutto quel che può succedere nella vita sono ancora pronte a vivere; i membri della band invece sono separati: Mike Dirnt e Tre Cool suonano insieme mentre Billie Joe cammina da solo e riflette. Questo per spiegare metaforicamente la lontananza che il frontman ha dovuto affrontare dai suoi compagni di band a causa della riabilitazione.
Testo e Accordi
Do#
(Intro)
Do#
I'm like a child looking off on the horizon
Sol#
I'm like an ambulance that's turning on the sirens
Sib- Sol# Fa#
Oh, I'm still alive
Do#
I'm like a soldier coming home for the first time
Sol#
I dodged a bullet and I walked across a landmine
Sib- Sol# Fa#
Oh, I'm still alive
Do#
Am I bleeding?
Sol#
Am I bleeding from the storm?
Sib-
Just shine a light into the wreckage
Fa#
So far away, away
Do# /Do
Cause I'm still breathing
Sib- Sol#
Cause I'm still breathing on my own
Fa#
My head's above the rain and roses
Sol#
Making my way, away
Do# /Do
Cause I'm still breathing
Sib- Sol#
Cause I'm still breathing on my own
Fa#
My head's above the rain and roses
Sol#
Making my way, away
Do#
My way to you
Do#
(Stacco)
Do#
I'm like a junkie tying off for the last time
Sol#
I'm like a loser that's betting on his last dime
Sib- Sol# Fa#
Oh, I'm still alive
Do#
I'm like a son that was raised without a father

I'm like a mother barely keeping it together

Am I bleeding?

Am I bleeding from the storm?

Sib- Sol# Fa# Do#
As I walked out on the ledge
Sib- Sol# Fa# Do#
Are you scared to death to live?
Sib- Sol# Fa# Do#
I've been running all my life
Sib- Sol#/Do#
Just to find a home that's for the restless
Fa#
And the truth that's in the message
Sol#
Making my way, away, away
