Lyrics:

[English]

Come here and don't say never 'cause that's a real long time

I've been asking around and tryna find a way to see my sign

It's not long 'til you're meant to be here, but you won't show up

I know that you're mad at me and our history

Says take it slow

I'll wait while the sun goes down and leaves this town

And encases me in the blackness

In the dark where all the bad thoughts come

Alive, alive, alive, alive, alive

I just wanna be alone with you tonight

To save me from myself

You know you're something else

You make me feel alive

...

Find me, I'll be the one with glitter on my eyes

You fill me up with hope, then leave, and act surprised

I don't feel great, I just wanted you to stay

(Please, stay)

I'll wait while the sun goes down and leaves this town

And encases me in the blackness (in the blackness)

In the dark (the dark) where all the bad thoughts come

Alive, alive, alive, alive, alive

I just wanna be alone with you tonight

To save me from myself

You know you're something else

You make me feel alive

...

Alive, alive, alive, alive, alive

I just wanna be alone with you tonight

...

Alive, alive, alive, alive, alive

I just wanna feel something, is that alright? Yeah

To save me from myself

You know you're something else

You make me feel alive

Alive, alive, alive, alive, alive

I just wanna be alone with you tonight

...
