Lyrics
ALIVE
The bonfire fought back the dark
I was getting lost inside his arms
I knew my curfew was catchin? up with me.
When his breath touched my neck
It made time easy to forget
As hard as I tried
I just couldn?t leave that night
I knew my parents were scared to death
And so was I as he pressed his lips against mine
Oh I never felt more alive.
Wrong felt so right
The smell of smoke was in my hair
And I was lying there I cried.
Not because I was sad
It had to do with breathin? in new life
I was alive.
We walked the path back to his car
And as I felt that engine start
Right then, that?s when
I knew I?d never be the same.
As we drove under the lights of my street
That?s when I started to think
About every excuse
That I was about to use
But my parents were asleep
And I was afraid
Those hinges would give me away
But as I crawled into bed that night,
I was alive.
Wrong felt so right
The smell of smoke was in my hair
And I was lying there, I cried.
Not because I was sad
It had to do with breathin? in new life
I was alive.
The other day driving in my car
I smelled a field burnin? and it sparked
My memory of him and me and that night
Chorus
