Lyrics
Alive
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Doesn't matter if you're wrong or right
Don't care if you sleep all day
All or nothin' til' you get it right
And we can all agree
Give up that silver lining
If you seek gold
Ain't no suprise at the things we see
Don't blink, don't stare at me
If you don't think that we can get it right
And we'll see eye to eye
Why look for a silver lining?
When it's all gold?
Take a look
Before it gets too old
We're never gonna get out of this place
We're never gonna get out
We're never gonna get out of this place alive
You know we'll never survive
We'll never get out of this place alive
I'll be lucky just to get it right
The way you're feelin' you can bet all day
All or nothin' til' you get it right
And I can be your eyes
Don't want no silver lining
Just give me gold
Just a look before you get too old
It's not easy to fall in love
Or not fallin' at all
All that's in it for you and me
Is you and me that's all
You're on a merry go round n' round
And losing all control
I'm preparing you tonight
For what I need and more
We're never gonna get out
We're never gonna get out of this place alive
You know we'll never survive
We'll never get out of this place alive
