Rise Electric Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I need to figure my life out
Oh yes indeed
Every kid needs a new way out
Then you make me see what it's all about

It's about the pleasure, of whatever
Taking a break from this heavy life
Why don't we drive, why don't we drive
Away?
Because I'm feeling alive, I'm feeling alive
Today
No we don't need another reason
No we don't need another reason
If the world should end tomorrow we'll be fine

Most days I wake up and all I want is a drink
With all my numb emotions the last thing I wanna do is think
Sometimes life just sucks you know
I can never do it alone

It's abou the pleasure of whatever
Taking a break from this heavy life

Why don't we drive, why don't we drive
Away?
Because I'm feeling alive, I'm feeling alive
Today
No we don't need another reason
No we don't need another reason
If the world should end tomorrow we'll be fine

Leave your problems and your pain
Say the things you wanna say
Take inner chances never wrong

All your troubles yesterday
Somehow seem to fade away
Don't you worry cause your already
Your already gone

Sometimes I need to figure my life out
Oh yes indeed every kid needs a new way out
Every kid needs a new way out
Then you make me see what it's all about

It's about the pleasure, about whatever
Taking a break from this heavy life

Why don't we drive, why don't we drive
Away?
Because I'm feeling alive, I'm feeling alive
Today
No we don't need another reason
No we don't need another reason
If the world should end tomorrow we'll be fine (tomorrow we'll be fine)

Why don't we drive, why don't we drive
Away?
Because I'm feeling alive, I'm feeling alive
Today
No we don't need another reason




No we don't need a fuckin reason
If the world should end tomorrow we'll be fine
