Keep Us Alive

[Verse 1]
Saying it’s over as you curl up for the night
Painless and sober, just never works out right
I’ve no shame about eloping but where’s our future now?
For all my patience and hoping, there’s just no right way out

[Chorus]
If it’s gotta be me to keep us alive
I’m gonna do something to keep us alive
If it’s gotta be me to keep us alive
I’m gonna do something to keep us alive
If I gotta lie, steal, fight, kill
We’re gonna stay afloat
If it’s gotta be me to keep us alive
I’m gonna do anything to keep us alive

If I gotta lie
If I gotta steal
If I gotta fight
If I gotta kill

[Verse 2]
I get lost sometimes
I lose track of my mind
I get lost most nights
Workin’ hard to survive
I get down somehow
On my way uptown
It goes down, I cash out
Doing things I’m not too proud
I get lost sometimes
I lose track of my mind
It goes down, I cash out
But it wouldn’t make you proud

I get lost
I get lost

[Chorus]
If it’s gotta be me to keep us alive
I’m gonna do something to keep us alive
If it’s gotta be me to keep us alive
I’m gonna do something to keep us alive
If I gotta lie, steal, fight, kill
Ride all night holding cold steel
If it’s gotta be me to keep us alive
I’m gonna do anything to keep us alive

[Bridge]
Night’s so cold, and we’re both getting older
Night’s so cold, and we’re both getting older
Night’s so cold, and we’re both getting older
Night’s so cold, and we’re both getting older

[Outro]
Laying on this sidewalk is like being home with you
Playing in the front yard, we were dogs under the moon
Oh laying on this sidewalk is like being home with you
Playing in the front yard, we were dogs under the moon
