Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Always waiting in line
Whoa-oh-oh
What you want is never enough
What you need is a little more touch
Revival
Burning like a fever
Revival
Nevermind the sunshine
I wanna be your spark
You light me up on the inside
Come alive, revival
Can't win, standing in the corner
Ain’t gonna win on the floor
You’re such a diva, you told me that you’re bored
Well something new is out here knocking on your door
Revival
I’ll paint a pretty picture
Revival
You can hang it on your wall
Honey child- I’ll be your ride
I can take you to a place you’ve never been before
You light me up on the inside
Come alive, revival

I worked indirectly with Michael while he was with Pyxl and I was with Regal, all the while not realizing he was a member of one of my favorite bands since I was in high school lol I hope all is well. Very good to see the new stuff. Baby We Were Young will always hold a special place in my heart

So good... Really need this in CD form (yep, I'm old fashioned 😉) but can't find an order link to save my life...please, take my money! GFL (Guvs For Life)

Agreed, I've been looking to buy a CD too. I think we've officially become too old school because I don't think they're making any CDs, just putting the album on streaming services 🤣
THEKIDWISCONSIN
@Blake D. I think you're right...LOL But they're missing out...there's a lot of us that would pony up the money for a physical CD...and I'm always a sucker to pay a little more for a signed copy 😁👍
