Sr-71 - Alive lyrics

rate me

All she's asking is for a little more time,

To walk away from his anger and leave the bruises far behind

She won't talk about it...she's made up her mind

But as the front door shuts behind her she whispers "give me a sign."

Feels the power of the engine as she climbs to 65

Every piston sounds like freedom, every white line says goodbye

She'll find strength in her anger and the truth in his lies

When the last scar finally fades she'll have a new life

Say goodbye to Mr. Right

Lock the door, turn out the light

Pack your bags, leave this trap

Run away, don't look back

See another day with each new sun

Your life has just begun

She can still feel the touch of his hand

Not just the violence but the warmth of her man

The night she never felt so alive

even though it feels so cold outside

It's the first time I've ever seen her smile.
