Say
Alive City Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I threw my heart up on the line
I said no more wastin' my time
Woaoaoh
I said I love you, you know that's true
I trust you 'cause you know me best

You are my peace
You are my rest
Woaoaoh
And I have you, you know that's true
So I can say
You have my all

I'll say something 'cause you love me
I'll say something 'cause you love me
Say something grace surrounds me
Be!
Someone in your freedom
Be!
Someone be myself now
I can't imagine anything
No, anything better
Say something 'cause you love me
Woaoaoh

I threw my heart up on the wire
I feel you like a burning fire
Woaoaoh
I said I love you, you know that's true
Seems like my world is such a mess
But you love me better than the rest
Woaoaoh

And I have you, you know that's true
And I can say you have my all
I'll say something 'cause you love me
Say somthing grace surrounds me
Be!
Someone in your freedom
Be!
Someone be myself now
I can't imagine anything
No, anything better
Say something 'cause you love me
Woaoaoh

I'll say something 'cause you love me
Say somthing grace surrounds me
Be!
Someone in your freedom
Be!
Someone be myself now
I can't imagine anything
No, anything better
Say something 'cause you love me
Woaoaoh

So I can say you have my all
And I can say you have my all
I'll say something 'cause you love me
Say somthing grace surrounds me
Be!
Someone in your freedom
Be!
Someone be myself now
I can't imagine anything
No, anything better
Say something 'cause you love me
Woaoaoh

I'll say something cause you love me
Say somthing grace surrounds me
Be!
Someone in your freedom
Be!
Someone be myself now
I can't imagine anything
No, anything better




Say something 'cause you love me
Woaoaoh
