Alive

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 finds strength in her anger
And the truth in his lies
When the last scar finally fades
She'll have a new life

(chorus)
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
In each new sun
Your life has just begun

She can still feel the touch
Of his hands
Not just the violence
But the warmth
Of her man

(chorus)

It was the night she never felt
So alive
(repeat 2x)
Even though it feels so cold outside
It was the first time I've ever seen her
Smile
