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) [4x]
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.
