Eleven

It was out on the highway
It was warmer than blood
It was spaces and basements
Faces brimming with love
It was nightfall to daybreak
Finding a new way
It was falling asleep at the wheel while awake
It was wasting away; delay the promise of heartache
It was tracing the chest to the arm to the hand
That’s been wielding a knife and trying
To cut our dreams in pieces but we’ll be fine

I feel alright, tonight
Yeah, I feel alright tonight

I feel (I feel alright)
I feel (I feel alright)
I feel (I feel alright)
I feel (I feel alright)

It was fear of foreclosure, stock in General Motors
It was boarding up buildings, burnt; the tortured and war-torn
It was unpaid rent checks and
All the hope left
The hearts that still beat through the bones in our chests

I feel alright, tonight
I guess I feel alright tonight

I feel like letting go (I feel)
I feel like letting go (Alright)
I feel like letting go (Tonight)
I feel like letting go, yeah

I feel like giving in (I feel)
I feel like giving in (Alright)
I feel like giving in (Tonight)
I feel like giving in, yeah

There’s a chorus of voices below you
There’s a prayer of hope composed in song
In a basement with the lights turned low and
There’s room to sing along, so sing along

And I feel alright, tonight
Yeah, I feel alright tonight

I feel (I feel alright)
I feel (I feel alright)
I feel (I feel alright)
I feel (I feel alright)
