Lyrics
We Are 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.
Just drive, we'll tear up the streets
There's no apology
(The night's always young when you're careless and free)
Thoughts are so reckless and calm
We don't owe anyone
We don't owe anyone
This is the last night to prove we're alive
These are the nights that define what were made of
The journey has taken its toll
And left us so far from home
(And now we must live with the choices we've made)
There isn't time for the faint of heart (faint of heart)
Nothing is out of reach
It's just so hard to see
This is the last night to prove we're alive
These are the nights that define what were made of
The sun is burning this night skyline
These are the nights that define what were made of
It's time to stop sleeping
The silence still makes a sound
(Take a deep breath)
It's never too late to start again
Our shadows consume this town
(We're all that's left)
We will decide our fate
This is the last night to prove we're alive
These are the nights that define what were made of
The sun is burning this night skyline
These are the nights that define what were made of
It's time to stop sleeping
(Morning calls for us to WAKE UP! WAKE UP!)
It's time to stop and take a chance
(Call the boys out to fight, and the girls to dance)
(WAKE UP! As the morning calls again)
