Born to Be Alive
Lyrics
I could barely see the traffic lights
Bleed red to yellow in the starry night
The river mirrored back the London Eye
Pure nostalgia
Feeling like a dream in a rented dress
I'm a supernova flying out my mama's nest
Little nervous, I was pulling out the silver threads
For the power
I was screaming all the words
Shouting lyrics out the sunroof of my car
Singing
Hey there, Delilah
I don't need someone to love
I'm a million miles from anyone, but that's where I belong
With the city speeding past me, I have never felt so free beneath the sky
They say, "We're born to die"
But I was born to be alive
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
I was born to be alive
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Never been a sucker for a valentine
I'm a holy motherfucker with my head held high
And the wind is drying over all the tears I've cried
Like a lifeline
Used to worry crazy what the future held
But life ain't gonna take me 'til I trust myself
So, with two hands on the wheel, think of nothing else
But my power
I was screaming all the words
Shouting lyrics out the sunroof of my car
Singing
Hey there, Delilah
I don't need someone to love
I'm a million miles from anyone, but that's where I belong
With the city speeding past me, I have never felt so free beneath the sky
They say, "We're born to die"
But I was born to be alive
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
I was born to be alive
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
I was born to be alive
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
I was born to be alive
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
I was born to be alive
