TONIGHT WE’RE ALIVE

Lyrics

[INTRO — FEMALE] We spent too long just barely breathing Now we’re breathing fire [MALE] They thought we’d never make it out [FEMALE] But we’re still standing higher [VERSE 1 — MALE] We took the hits, we took the blame Walked through the ashes, fed the flame Had every reason to disappear But something kept us standing here We lost some sleep, we lost some skin Lost a few battles we couldn’t win But every scar that they left behind Just made us harder to break this time [PRE-CHORUS — MALE / FEMALE] MALE: We don’t need permission FEMALE: We don’t need their approval MALE: We’ve got one night FEMALE: And nothing left to lose [CHORUS — MALE + FEMALE] MALE: Tonight we’re alive FEMALE: We’re alive! MALE: So let the whole damn world collide FEMALE: Let it collide! MALE: We’ve got nothing left to hide FEMALE: Nothing left to hide! BOTH: Turn it up, let the sparks ignite MALE: If tomorrow comes, we’ll face it then FEMALE: We’ll face it then! BOTH: Tonight we’re alive again [VERSE 2 — MALE] No more waiting for the right time No more walking somebody else’s line We know exactly what we’ve got And we ain’t giving up what we fought Let the doors slam, let the old world burn Some lessons hurt, but they’re lessons learned We’ve got a heartbeat, we’ve got a name And we’re still standing in the pouring rain [PRE-CHORUS — MALE / FEMALE] MALE: We don’t need permission FEMALE: We don’t need their approval MALE: We’ve got one night FEMALE: And nothing left to lose [CHORUS — MALE + FEMALE] MALE: Tonight we’re alive FEMALE: We’re alive! MALE: So let the whole damn world collide FEMALE: Let it collide! MALE: We’ve got nothing left to hide FEMALE: Nothing left to hide! BOTH: Turn it up, let the sparks ignite MALE: If tomorrow comes, we’ll face it then FEMALE: We’ll face it then! BOTH: Tonight we’re alive again [GUITAR SOLO — SHORT, MELODIC 80s-STYLE] [BRIDGE — FEMALE → MALE] FEMALE: We were never meant to live afraid MALE: Never meant to carry every mistake FEMALE: Let the past keep calling our name MALE: We ain’t turning back again FEMALE: Are you ready? MALE: Hell yeah. BOTH: Then light it up! [FINAL CHORUS — FULL BAND] MALE: Tonight we’re alive FEMALE: We’re alive! MALE: So let the whole damn world collide FEMALE: Let it collide! MALE: We’ve got nothing left to hide FEMALE: Nothing left to hide! BOTH: Turn it up, let the sparks ignite MALE: If tomorrow comes, we’ll face it then FEMALE: We’ll face it then! BOTH: Tonight we’re alive again [OUTRO — BOTH] Tonight we’re alive! Tonight we’re alive! MALE: We made it this far— FEMALE: And we’re not done! BOTH: TONIGHT WE’RE ALIVE!
