Alive

(album: The Arcade - 2022)

I don't wanna be so uptight
I don't wanna be locked in my house tonight
Tired of waiting on a green light
To break me away, away, away

I'm just checking on my vitals, yeah
Just a matter of survival anyway
Yeah, I'm suited up for battle
In the saddle today

Hide your crying

Smoke em if you got em
Crack another bottle
Don't you let it slip away
Call em if you miss em
Love em when you kiss em
Don't you wait another day
If you don't feel it, it ain't gonna fly
If it don't kill you, you ain't gonna die
Tonight
Laugh so hard you cry
If it makes you feel alive
If it makes you feel alive

I put my kicks up on the concrete
So pretty how the city's looking over me
Got me feeling like some new feet
On these old streets
Can't take that away
I'm not looking for a throwback, Jack
Feeling better than a Kodak, let it fade
All I'm needing is some contact
Let the sun set away, away, away

Smoke em if you got em
Crack another bottle
Don't you let it slip away
Call em if you miss em
Love em when you kiss em
Don't you wait another day
If you don't feel it, it ain't gonna fly
If it don't kill you, you ain't gonna die
Tonight
Laugh so hard you cry
If it makes you feel alive
If it makes you feel alive
If it makes you feel alive

I don't wanna be so uptight
I feel so alive
I don't wanna be locked in my house tonight
I feel so alive
