Look Alive Lyrics by Paul Spring

River Flows Two Ways

2022

[Verse 1]
\nI climbed out of my window
\nTiptoed down the roof
\nJumped and rolled onto the ground
\nRan down the avenue
\nMy head on a swivel
\nMy hoodie zipped tight
\nAt the corner of the block
\nThere's a watchful streetlight
\n
\n[Refrain]
\nLook alive
\nLook alive
\nLook alive
\nLook alive
\nLook alive
\nLook alive
\nLook alive
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nWell, I tried to trace your anger
\nFrom the welts on my back
\nTo the belt of your father
\nDid he buckle you up bad?
\nAs I run by these houses
\nWith the kitchen lights on
\nDo they havе the same rage?
\nDo thеy hold back their soul?
\n
\n[Refrain]
\nLook alive
\nLook alive
\nLook alive
\nLook alive
\nLook alive
\nLook alive
\nLook alive
\n
\n[Bridge]
\nI'm not sticking 'round to find out
\nI'm in the darkness on the edge of town
\nI'm going down down down
\nI'm going down down down
\nTo the river
\n
\n[Verse 3]
\nDip me in the water, hold me by the heel
\nThetis my mother, make me a shield
\nDip me in the water, hold me by the heel
\nThetis my mother, make me a shield
\nAhh, ahh, ahh
\nAhh, ahh, ahh
\n
\n[Verse 4]
\nI climb back in my window, black turned to blue
\nThe birds started chatting, the grass got its dew
\nAs I drifted off to sleep, I called out to you
\nCarry me water, away or through\n\n
