Lyrics[]
Your thoughts become your enemies
When you're locked inside this cage
Life can feel dead to me
And all that's left is rage
Regrets for all the time we wasted
Thinking of ourselves
Holding onto pain you tasted
Living in this hell
Don't wanna go back home tonight
So I drive this road alone
[Chorus:]
Stay alive for the good times
Stay alive through the bad
Stay alive for the hopes and the fears and the dreams
The best that we ever had
I keep telling myself I can take you
From this God-forsaken place
Stay alive for the good times
Stay alive through the bad
Stay alive
[Matt Skiba:]
Your fear controls everything
Never let you turn the page (Let you turn the page)
We end up only settling
For when we both felt sane
Reaching out for something that
You can't quite hold onto
Say goodbye and start it over
When there's nothing left for you
Don't wanna go back home tonight
So I drive this road alone
[Chorus]
I keep telling myself I can take you
From this God-forsaken place
[Chorus]
Stay alive [3x]
