Alive

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Back when I was sixteen Always loved to daydream Favorite song was "Billie Jean" Had the jacket, the curl and everything Used to ride a skateboard Never really liked sports My favorite cousin bought a four-door Hummer Dad in the car, crashed the very next summer [Chorus] One minute you're up Next minute, gettin' dragged by the ice cream truck Follow your gut Don't let nothin' but a earthquake shake you up And no matter what You look him in the face, never play it safe, no Gotta take a chance in life It ain't like you gon' make it out alive [Verse 2] My first dog Benji Benji was a mutt Benji liked to bite folks So Benji got locked up I got my first white girl She bought me a hat My mama didn't like her So she made me give it back Damn [Chorus] One minute you're up Next minute, gettin' dragged by the ice cream truck Follow your gut Don't let nothin' but a earthquake shake you up And no matter what You look him in the face, never play it safe, no Gotta take a chance in life It ain't like you gon' make it out alive [Bridge] Memories, memories all in my head Time will keep ticking but I won't forget ya I promise you, promise you, nothing's forever Memories, memories all in my head Time will keep ticking but I won't forget ya I promise you, promise you, nothing's forever [Verse 3] Mama always blamed me Daddy was ashamed of me Them pills took the pain from me But only temporarily (But only temporarily) Then I hit puberty But the girls wasn't into me I found my step dad's magazines My whole freshman year they called me "Vaseline" [Chorus] One minute you're up Next minute, gettin' dragged by the ice cream truck Follow your gut Don't let nothin' but a earthquake shake you up And no matter what You look him in the face, never play it safe, no Gotta take a chance in life It ain't like you gon' make it out alive
