Lyrics

I Feel So Alive (Livin' The Dream)
Kelly Riley and Rich Sokolow

Verse 1
Driving up the coastline
With the friends I love the most, I'm
Already feeling better
Party in our car
And posing like rock stars
Forget about our problems
We don't need to solve them

Chorus
Pedal to the metal and we're chasing the sun
Livin' the dream like Monday never comes (hoohoo livin' the dream, hoohoo livin' the dream)
Keeping all our secrets, we'll be partners in crime
Livin' the dream and feelin' so alive (hoohoo livin the dream)
I feel so alive

Verse 2
One more chance for freedom
Forget this classroom dreamin'
Leave it in the rear view
Pushing all the limits
We'll breathe in every minute
Beats loud, windows down, we don't give a damn
We got everybody dancing in the traffic jam

Chorus

Bridge
Sleep, sleep, sleep when we die
Sleep, sleep, sleep when we die
Monday never comes, Monday never comes, Monday
We'll sleep when we die

Chorus (Breakdown)
Pedal to the metal and we're chasing the sun
Livin' the dream like Monday never comes
Keeping all our secrets, we'll be partners in crime
Livin' the dream and feelin' so alive
I feel so alive

Chorus

Outro
Driving up the coastline
With the friends I love the most, I'm
Already feeling better
