Vocalist and lyricist Davey Havok has cited this as being his favorite song off the album, as well as one of his favorites written in the past 20 years.
[Verse 1]
Feel alive only through the night
Electric pulse in you - I feel it too
You and I let it surge inside
A sadness fills this city
I feel it in you
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Must we be thieving?
What were you taking while we were sharing heartbreak -
[Chorus 1]
Just to feel alive?
Feel alive
Do you feel alive?
Feel alive
Do you still feel the same when you're with me, like you'd swallow the night hoping that we'd feel alive?
Feel alive
Feel alive
[Verse 2]
Reel the night, only half alive, a fading pulse in you
I'm here fading too
You and I watched the daylight die
With sadness in our hearts, you smiled like it loved you
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Was it worth leaving?
Who's worth deceiving?
Are we breath taking just to -
[Chorus 2]
Just to feel alive?
Feel alive
Do you feel alive?
Feel alive
Do you still feel the same when you're with me, like you'd swallow the night hoping that we'd feel alive?
Feel alive
[Bridge]
Over it all we watched the sun arise and show upon our sadness
[Pre-Chorus 3]
It was breathtaking
You were breathtaking
Are we heart breaking, are we -
[Chorus 3]
Just to feel alive?
Feel alive
Do you feel alive?
Feel alive
Do you feel this way when you're with me, like we'd burst into stars hoping that we'd feel alive?
Feel alive
[Outro]
Feel alive
Feel alive
