Look Alive
We spell disaster Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So what do you say to keeping quiet?
Keeping up or making sense, it's unnecessary
You already bit off more than you could chew
So what's it to you?
So what's it to you? I'm a timeless topic with the latest
Use what you've got just like it's going out of style

You know that this is what you want

Where you want to be
Get it right

Agree to disagree
If only, if only
(yea,yea,yea)
I try, I try to look alive

Agree to disagree
If only, if only
(yea,yea,yea)
Oh no, here we go

Pack it up, pack it up or reel me in
It's the season to sink or swim
Go go underestimate me
Go go underestimate me
Nobody makes a move, nobody speaks or says a word
Go go underestimate me
Go go underestimate me

You know that this is what you want
Where you want to be
Get it right

Agree to disagree
If only, if only
(yea,yea,yea)
I try, I try to look alive

Agree to disagree
If only, if only
(yea,yea,yea)
Oh no, here we go

Brace yourself, I'm caught in open arms again
