Alive Lyrics by O.A.R

The Arcade

2021

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 cryin'

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 likе some new feet
On thesе 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

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
