Switchfoot - When We Come Alive lyrics

The sun goes down like a photograph You try to stop time in the aftermath But it’s gone, gone Yesterday reads like a tragedy I try not to lose what’s left of me But it’s gone Yeah, but we carry on We are fire Burning brightly You and I We light the sky When we ignite When we come alive When we come alive It feels like I could get lost today The winds in my mind get swept away And I’m gone, gone And it’s one last time to the wishing well I throw down the change and I wish them well But they’re gone Yeah, but we’ll carry on We are our souls on fire We are reaching higher We are our souls on fire When we come alive When we come alive We are fire You and I Strength, heart, soul, mind
