Come Alive
Astoria Kings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am the lonely one tonight
Can we just stop pretending I'm the only one, I'm not the only one
I see your glimmer up ahead
Outrun the stars to follow it
You take my hand, I glow
Am I the only one, who's ever told you so
I was walking in a straight line
But you, you got my running and feels so right
I come alive the times we get together
There's a light I love, could be forever
Come alive, I need you now more than ever
Come alive, I need to know it's forever
Every time we see each other there's a light I see, see like no other
Come alive, I need you now more than ever
Come alive, because we are together
You drive me out of my mind
But I don't want no other kind
Cause with one touch I know
That you're the only one
I see your glimmer up ahead
Outrun the stars to follow it
You take my hand, I glow
Am I the only one, who's ever told you so
I was walking in a straight line
But you, you got my running and feels so right
I can't go back to life without you
No I won't let you out of my sight now
I'll keep you forever I'll never let you go
