“Alive” is a dance-pop song heavily influenced by ‘80s synth-pop and disco. Opening with an upbeat piano riff, the song later builds up to a sublime euphoric chorus framed by glittering warm synths.
It was released as Head First’s second single on June 7, 2010.
[It is] a song about rediscovering lo...
[Verse 1]
I woke up with the rising sun
I was blinded by the light
Jump up and pull on my jeans
It feels good, they're a little tight
[Verse 2]
Step out in a crazy world
But then the sun resets your mind
Feel the weight of it all just drift

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, hello, hello
Ooh-ooh-ooh, hello, hello
[Chorus]
I'm feeling alive again, alive again
I'm feeling alive again, alive again
[Verse 3]

[Verse 4]
Here we are on a perfect night
The sky is clear and the moon is full
Looking out at the universe
I thank the stars and the heavens for you
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, hello, hello
Ooh-ooh-ooh, hello, hello
[Chorus]
I'm feeling alive again, alive again
I'm feeling alive again, alive again
[Bridge]
I wanna get you tonight, I wanna get you tonight
I wanna get you tonight and love
I wanna get you tonight, I wanna get you tonight
I wanna get you tonight and love
Ooh, we're on and on
Ooh, we're on and on
I wanna get you tonight, I wanna get you tonight
I wanna get you tonight and love
[Chorus]
Feeling alive again, alive again
Feeling alive again, alive again
I'm feeling alive again, alive again
I'm feeling alive again, alive again
