Alive
One Direction · Midnight Memories [2013]
I asked the doctor can you find out what is wrong with me
I don't know why I wanna be with every girl I meet
I can't control it
Yeah, I know it's taking over me
I'm going crazy,
Can't contain it
Zayn- So tell me just what I should do!
All- She said, hey! it's alright
Does it make you feel alive?
Don't look back
Live your life
Even if it's only for tonight
She said, hey, it's alright
If it makes you feel alive
Niall- Went to a party, just after the doctor talked to me
I met a girl, I took her, end up to the balcony
I whispered something in her ear that I just can't repeat
She said okay, but she was worried what her friends will think
Liam- She's going crazy,
Can't contain it
Zayn- She asked what should I do?
All- I said, hey, it's alright
Does it make you feel alive?
Don't look back
Live your life,
Even if it's only for tonight
I said, hey, it's alright
If it makes you feel alive
Louis- We got to live before we get older
Do what we like
We got nothing to lose
Shake off the weight of the world from your shoulders, ohh oh
We got nothing to prove
Liam- I said, hey, it's alright
Does it make you feel alive?
Don't look back
Live your life
Even if it's only for tonight
All- I said, hey, it's alright
Does it make you feel alive?
Don't look back
Live your life
Even if it's only for tonight
I said, hey, it's alright
If it makes you feel alive
