The Word Alive - Why Am I Like This? Lyrics

The Word Alive Lyrics

"Why Am I Like This?"

Honestly I'm waiting for you to say you're ready
If this is happening, just tell me
No hesitation, no stopping
It just feels right
But why am I like this?

Take your time, wrong or right
I just wanna feel alive tonight
Yes or no? Don't go slow
I just wanna feel alive tonight
Our own bloody Sunday
Our own bloody Sunday

So irrational this feeling
Getting physical, I'm ready
Seducing me with temptation
Feeling free, your motivation
It just feels right
(If this is happening, just tell me)
But why am I like this?

Take your time, wrong or right
I just wanna feel alive tonight
Yes or no? Don't go slow
I just wanna feel alive tonight
Our own bloody Sunday
Our own bloody Sunday
Our own bloody Sunday
Our own bloody Sunday

They say we're out of control
They say they that we just don't know
And maybe we'll prove them right
But not tonight

Take your time, wrong or right
I just wanna feel alive tonight
Yes or no? Don't go slow
I just wanna feel alive tonight
Our own bloody Sunday
Our own bloody Sunday
Take your time, wrong or right
I just wanna feel alive tonight
Yes or no? Don't go slow
I just wanna feel alive tonight

Our own bloody Sunday
Our own bloody Sunday
Our own bloody Sunday
Our own bloody Sunday
