Your thoughts become your enemies When you're locked inside this cage Life can feel dead to me And all that's left is rage
Regrets for all the time we wasted Thinking of ourselves Holding onto pain you tasted Living in this hell
Don't wanna go back home tonight So I drive this road alone
[Chorus:] Stay alive for the good times Stay alive through the bad Stay alive for the hopes and the fears and the dreams The best that we ever had I keep telling myself I can take you From this God-forsaken place Stay alive for the good times Stay alive through the bad
Stay alive
[Matt Skiba:] Your fear controls everything Never let you turn the page (Let you turn the page) We end up only settling For when we both felt sane
Reaching out for something that You can't quite hold onto Say goodbye and start it over When there's nothing left for you
Don't wanna go back home tonight So I drive this road alone
[Chorus]
I keep telling myself I can take you From this God-forsaken place
