Lyrics
(verse 1)
RUNNING HARD, RUNNING FAST
HOPE YOUR LUNGS DON'T COLLAPSE
GOTTA LIE, GOTTA FLY
TO ESCAPE ALL THESE TRAPS
CHECK YOUR DREAMS, CHECK YOUR PULSE
WHAT IS REAL ANYMORE?
LYING THERE ON THE FLOOR
(chorus)
I'M HERE TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT
I'M HERE TO SAVE YOUR LIFE
TAKE MY HAND
WE'LL MAKE IT OUT ALIVE
MAKE IT OUT ALIVE
(verse 2)
TRY TO DITCH, TRY TO DUCK
BUT THESES WORLDS WILL COLLIDE
THERE IS DARK, THERE IS LIGHT
ONLY ONE IS INSIDE
GOTTA SEE, GOTTA FEEL
GOTTA GET IN THE SOUND
HERE THE LOST CAN BE FOUND
(chorus)
I'M HERE TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT
I'M HERE TO SAVE YOUR LIFE
TAKE MY HAND
WE'LL MAKE IT OUT ALIVE
MAKE IT OUT ALIVE
(bridge)
AH.....
(tag)
WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT
WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT
WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT OUT ALIVE
WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT
WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT
WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT OUT ALIVE
WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT
WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT
WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT OUT ALIVE
