Lyrics Alison Moyet

Alison Moyet

Alive

There are days

Come be alive

Here and take up by my side

We decide

Let there be no triggers fired

Put your hands down

Oh, this is how we learn to exist

Let nothing begin

And we find ourselves squared up in the ring

But this is a fight

I don't care to win

Cut you, oh and I bleed

Raise the flag and

We can give in

And I want you

I still want you

Cease fire

I'm on side

Hear the thunderclap of quiet

Calm in sight

Let's have no alarms tonight

We can stand down

Oh, like the bird on the wire

We could steal away

But while there's peace enough to sit out the rain

I'll watch my mouth

You corner your pain

We can cover one another

Weave like the willow again

And I want you

I still want you
