What Keeps Us Both Alive Lyrics by Bookish Songs Collective

In The Meadow

2024

These bones they give me strength
But you can't even seem to stand
These feet they help me run
But you never let me lend a hand
These lips of mine are soft
But your heart is hard and cold
So let my blood running like fire
Wake you up from winter's hold
I promise not to lie
While the same air keeps us both alive
Could you promise not to die
While the same air keeps us both alive
Alive
Alive
These eyes they help me see
But I'm never looking back for you
Oppression's melody
Is haunting everything I do
Your hands in mine aren't rough
But I'm still not tough enough
But then your voice is calling me out
Saying trust me through your doubt
You promised not to lie
While the same air keeps us both alive
Remember you promised not to die
While the same air is still keeping us both alive
Alive
Alive
Holding on
The days drag on
You're lost and you're far away
Hearts are broken
Hope is frozen
Who will save us now
Do you remember
It wasn't this way
Do you remember
That word I heard you say
Always
Always
Alive
Alive
