Alive, alive, alive, alive Never thought the day would come when I'd see My reflection smiling right back at me It's been a while since I've been happy Not sure, that I'm ready I never planned on letting love in Didn't wanna go back there again But maybe I could (maybe I should) Take a, take a chance on you Tonight, I'm lost in the music and lights I don't wanna let go but I might If it's right Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight Is this real? Cause this heart is just startin' to heal And you're so close to makin' me feel (me feel) Alive, alive, alive, alive I didn't ever think that I'd be given Everythin' that I was missing It's like somebody out there's listening Still not sure, that I'm ready But maybe I could (maybe I should) Take a, take a chance on you Tonight, I'm lost in the music and lights I don't wanna let go but I might If it's right Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight Is this real? Cause this heart is just startin' to heal And you're so close to makin' me feel (me feel) Alive, alive, alive, alive You're makin' me feel, alive, alive Alive, alive, alive, alive I don't know if it's love again But I'm closer than I've ever been You're makin' me wanna let you in (wanna let you in) I can feel your energy I can't explain the chemistry All the signs are telling me Take a chance on you Tonight, I'm lost in the music and lights I don't wanna let go but I might If it's right Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight Is this real? Cause this heart is just startin' to heal And you're so close to makin' me feel (me feel) Alive, alive, alive, alive Tonight, I'm lost in the music and lights I don't wanna let go but I might If it's right Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight Is this real? Cause this heart is just startin' to heal And you're so close to makin' me feel (me feel) Alive, alive, alive, alive
