So Alive Lyrics by The Answering Machine

Lifeline

0

I caught your eyes in amongst the planes
You held a weary glance with your travel case
And I recall, I've never loved you more
You pretended you were younger than me
As you packed your souvenirs and the magazines
That we left huddled on the corner of your street
In the summer of 2009
We felt so alive [x3]
Your phrase book at the seaside
We're muted on a fairground ride
Our words washed up with the tide
A wave of syllables
From grey winds to the blue skies
On the dockside, we're so alive
The lifeboats and the warships
Hide in your eyes, we're so alive
We're so alive
Bodies sink on the morning train
As the skyline hunches over in the pouring rain
And I recall, I've never missed you more
I traced my finger on the guide book page
I joke about history, how it shows its age
A Swedish airport took you in
But never let you go
On central European time
We felt so alive [x3]
Your phrase book at the graveside
We're muted on a father's life
Our words washed up with the tide
A wave of syllables
From grey winds to the blue skies
On the dockside, we're so alive
The lifeboats and the warships
Hide in your eyes, we're so alive
We're so alive
We're so alive...
From grey winds to the blue skies
On the dockside, we're so alive
The lifeboats and the warships
Hide in your eyes, we're so alive
We're so alive
