[Verse 1: Roderick]
She awakes just before dawn with barely a thing on
And rises to the sunlight - a silhouette, a silver swan
With all of her grace and that smile on her face
Convinced she owns the daylight and makes the world a brighter place
"The time reads:" one two: three four
Asleep on the floor again
[Verse 2: Roderick]
In time I've come to realize this world keeps me alive -
Not a lover close beside me and the sweetness between her thighs
Because love comes and goes but not everybody knows
A fire burns in all our hearts when given a chance to glow
[Pre-Chorus: Roderick]
"The time reads:" one two: three four
Still stuck on the floor
[Chorus: Roderick]
Alive - I told myself to feel alive today
To drink and dance the freakin' night away, Like everything is cool
[Verse 3: Roderick]
I shed my skin and smoked away my sins - a new life to begin
It took courage and time and a lot of late night choices on a whim
There is more to the sky than that night it changed my life
And that triplet tie of sparkles has just had its place in time
[Pre-Chorus: Roderick]
"The time reads:" one two: three four
I'll pick myself off the floor
[Chorus: Roderick]
Alive - I told myself to feel alive today
To drink and dance the freakin' night away
Like everything is cool and I'm okay
[Bridge: Roderick]
Awake before dawn, alone and content
I won't let it get the best of me
Awake before dawn, alone and content
It's never going to get the best of me
[Chorus: Roderick]
Alive - I told myself to feel alive today
To drink and dance the freakin' night away
Like everything is cool and I'm okay
[Outro: Roderick]
Alive - I told myself to feel alive today
To drink and dance the freakin' night away
Like everything is cool and I'm okay
