Still Alive
Remember when twenty dollars Made us rich for the night?
Car barely started, But the radio worked right.
Somebody yelled, "LET'S GO!" Nobody asked where.
We didn't have a fucking plan.
We didn't care.
Sneakers on the pavement,
Summer heat beneath our feet.
Broken speakers in the backseat,
Still dancing to the beat.
You stole my favorite jacket,
Jimmy stole my last cold beer.
We were broke and we were brilliant,
Like the whole damn world was here.
Never knew we made a memory,
Never thought the years would fly;
Too damn busy laughing Underneath that endless sky.
We thought the world was waiting,
Thought we'd never say goodbye.
If you ask me what we had,
I'll tell you every time!
WE WERE FUCKING ALIVE!
Windows down, music high!
Had the whole damn world On a Saturday night.
No money, no worries,
No reason to hide— WE WERE FUCKING ALIVE!
Out of our minds,
Running through the summer Like we'd never run out of time.
If I could go back For just one more drive,
I'd turn that shit up And feel fucking alive!
Remember that girl at the diner?
Remember that night at the fair?
Remember the rain on the windshield,
And laughing like nobody cared?
Remember the beach in September?
That kiss underneath the blue?
We had absolutely nothing—
Man, we had everything too.
We never knew the good old days
Were happening right then.
Thought we'd have a million nights Exactly like them again.
Well, guess what? WE STILL CAN!
WE WERE FUCKING ALIVE!
Windows down, music high!
Had the whole damn world On a Saturday night.
No money, no worries,
No reason to hide— WE WERE FUCKING ALIVE!
Running through the summer
Like we'd never run out of time!
"We had no money!" "We had no clue!" "We had bad ideas!"
"And good friends too!" "We got older!" "SO FUCKING WHAT?"
"TURN IT UP!"
Maybe some of them got married,
Maybe some moved far away.
But somewhere in a photograph,
Somewhere on an old cassette,
There's a night we all were laughing That the world can't make
us forget. If this song finds you tonight,
I hope you smile and sing along.
Those nights aren't gone forever—
They're alive inside this song.
WE WERE FUCKING ALIVE!
Windows down, music high!
And the beautiful part Is WE'RE STILL HERE TONIGHT!
Got stories, got scars,
Got years, got miles,
But we still got the music,
And we still got the smiles!
WE WERE FUCKING ALIVE!
WE'RE STILL FUCKING ALIVE!
"Hey. Remember that night?"
"Yeah.
Me too."
