[Verse 1]
Seems like only yesterday
Life belonged to runaways
Nothing here to see, no looking back
Every sound monotone
Every color monochrome
Life began to fade into the black
Such a simple animal
Sterilized with alcohol
I could hardly feel me anymore
Desperate, meaningless
All filled up with emptiness
Felt like everything was said and done

[Chorus]
I lay there in the dark and I closed my eyes
You saved me the day you came alive

[Verse 2]
Still I tried to find my way
Spinning hours into days
Burning like a flame behind my eyes
Drown it out, drink it in
Crown the king of suffering
Prisoner, a slave to the disguise
Disappeared the only thing
Bittersweet surrendering
Knew that it was time to say goodbye

[Chorus]
And I lay there in the dark and I closed my eyes
You saved me the day you came alive
No reason left me to survive
You saved me the day you came alive

[Break]
Come alive, come alive, come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive, come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive, come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive, come alive, come alive

[Chorus]
I lay there in the dark and I closed my eyes
You saved me the day you came alive

[Break]
Come alive, come alive, come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive, come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive, come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive, come alive

[Verse 3]
Nothing more to give
I can finally live, come alive
Your life into me
I can finally breathe
Come alive

[Chorus]
I lay there in the dark
Open my eyes
You saved me the day that you came alive

[Outro]
Come alive, come alive, come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive, come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive, come alive

Foo Fighters

Foo Fighters are an American rock band formed in 1995 by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl. Originally a solo project by him to overcome the grief of Kurt Cobain’s death, Grohl attracted label interest with his inaugural demo tape.

According to Dave Grohl, the band is named after the UFOs that were reported by Allied aircraft pilots in World War II.

I was reading a lot of books on UFOs. Not only is it a fascinating subject, but there’s a treasure trove of band names in those UFO books! So, since I had recorded the first record by myself, playing all the instruments, but I wanted people to think that it was a group, I figured that FOO FIGHTERS might lead people to believe that it was more than just one guy. Silly, huh?
