As Alive as You Need Me to Be Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The way it makes me feel, infection
It's almost like a tongue on the back of my neck
I never had a choice, connection
I never had a chance to catch my breath
It's eating up the space between us
It's eating up all remaining doubt
It's filling up the hole inside you
It's trying to find a way to let itself out
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Give me something to believe in
All these hands have got a hold of me
Give me something to believe in
As alive as you need me to be
[Verse 2]
Always going to go this way, there's no turning back
Never any other way, there's no turning back
Everything for a reason, everything for a reason
Everything for a reason, everything for a reason
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Give me something to believe in
All these hands have got a hold of me (Hold of me)
Give me something to believe in
As alive as you need me to be
[Bridge]
Feel
I can finally feel
I can finally feel
I can finally feel
This infection
Feel
I can finally feel
I can finally feel
I can finally feel
This infection
[Outro]
Feel
I can finally feel
Feel
I can finally feel
Feel
I can finally feel
Feel
I can finally feel
