[Verse 1]
I've been floating on a dark wave
Don't want nobody to come rescue me
No direction in mind
I'm just killing time
I gave my body to the riptide
Maybe it will put me back to sleep
It was the last thing I had
Now I can't get it back

[Pre-Chorus]
There's a war inside my mind
But I'm the only one who fights
And I get lost here every night
I'm just trying to survive

[Chorus]
I want to come alive, come alive
Tell myself that it's alright
Come alive, come alive
Yeah, I'm tired but I gotta fight
I want to come alive, come alive
No more sleepwalking through life
Come alive, come alive
Yeah, I'm tired but I gotta fight

[Verse 2]
Still a slave to my emotions
Yeah, they always get the best of me
I'm tired of feeling like shit
But I'm too numb to quit it

[Pre-Chorus]
There's a war inside my mind
But I'm the only one who fights
And I get lost here every night
I'm just trying to survive

[Chorus]
I want to come alive, come alive
Tell myself that it's alright
Come alive, come alive
Yeah, I'm tired but I gotta fight
I want to come alive, come alive
No more sleepwalking through life
Come alive, come alive
Yeah, I'm tired but I gotta fight

[Bridge]
(I'm just trying to survive)
I'm alright but that's a lie
I'm not alright, I'm not alright

[Chorus]
I want to come alive, come alive
Tell myself that it's alright
Come alive, come alive
Yeah, I'm tired but I gotta fight
I want to come alive, come alive
No more sleepwalking through life
Come alive, come alive
Yeah, I'm tired but I gotta fight

[Outro]
(Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive)
Yeah I'm tired but I gotta fight

Against the Current is a Pop-Rock band from Poughkeepsie, New York, that formed in 2011. It consists of lead singer Chrissy Costanza, guitarist/backing vocalist Dan Gow, and drummer Will Ferri.

Initally, they began as a cover band, gaining popularity on YouTube. They set to release a debut EP, Infinity and an acoustic EP containing the same songs. After its unexpected success, the band applied the same formula; they released their EP Gravity and they followed it with an acoustic session with the same songs.

Against the Current’s sound fell more on the pop side of the spectrum when they were signed to Fueled By Ramen in 2015 and released their debut full album In Our Bones.
