Alive (Acoustic) - Madden

Hello, love Where have you been? Ain't seen your face in a while I miss your smile That pain had me jaded, but I'm all good now Tell me I'm wrong, I'll say you're right Tell me that I still got some space in your mind You tell me truth, they tell me lies You see everything that I've been tryin' to hide Stay alive On the ocean, floatin' I'll be swimmin' fast, back to your love Stay alive All real, no fake I'll drag these chains to heaven's gate (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) stay alive Oh, no, no-no, no Oh, no, no-no, no Oh, no, no-no, no (stay alive) Oh, no, no-no, no, no-no Hello, trust Don't know where you been, I'm hopin' that you're still down Like a rose Yeah, I got beautiful thorns, can't heal this pain on my own Tell me I'm wrong, I'll say you're right Tell me that I still got some space in your mind You tell me truth, they tell me lies You see everything that I've been tryin' to hide Stay alive On the ocean, floatin' I'll be swimmin' fast, back to your love Stay alive All real, no fake I'll drag these chains to heaven's gate (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) Stay alive Oh, no, no-no, no Oh, no, no-no, no Oh, no, no-no, no (stay alive) Oh, no, no-no, no, no-no

We're heading out with our heavy load Our heavy load Back down the drain on a pot-holed road A pot holed road I don't want to bring you down To bring you down But how this life can knock you around Knock you around Black muddy days and the darkness comes The darkness comes The sullen ways and the saddest songs The saddest songs No I don't want to get you low To get you low But we all know what it is to fall, it is to fall Low down, regression, is not what we're wanting to feel now But this sighing will not slow And I want to yell from a hill I'm alive And I want to cry out until I am sure that I know it Oh hold your friends, close as you can Close as you can We're feeling things we don't understand, we don't understand How your smile can bring me 'round Can bring me 'round And your attention makes me found Makes me feel found Slow times, mean thoughts, is not what we're wanting to feel now But this clock won't stop going And I want to yell from a hill I'm alive And I want to cry out until I am fine And I want to yell from a hill I'm alive And I want to cry out until I am sure that I know it

There's a rhythm in rush these days The lights don't move, the colors don't fade Leaves you empty with nothing but dreams In a world gone shallow, in a world gone lean There's some things a man cannot know The gears won't turn and the leaves won't grow There's no place to run and no gasoline The engine won't turn and the train won't leave The engine won't turn and the train won't leave But I will stay with you tonight Hold you close 'til the morning light And in the morning watch a new day rise We'll do whatever just to stay alive We'll do whatever just to stay alive Well, the way I feel is the way I write It isn't like the thoughts of the man who lies And we've got a truth and it's on our side Dawn is coming, open your eyes Oh, dawn is coming, open your eyes But I will stay with you tonight Hold you close 'til the morning light And we've got a truth and it's on our side Dawn is coming, open your eyes Oh, dawn is coming, open your eyes Dawn is coming, open your eyes Oh, dawn is coming, open your eyes Oh, dawn is coming, open your eyes Oh, dawn is coming, open your eyes There's a rhythm in rush these days The lights don't move and the colors don't fade And leaves you empty with nothing but dreams In a world gone shallow, in a world gone lean But we've got a truth and it's on our side Dawn is coming, open your eyes
