TOO ALIVE TO SLEEP

V6

[Intro, cinematic piano, female vocal] City's asleep... But I can hear a million hearts still beating. Maybe we're not lost. Maybe we're just awake. [Verse 1, male melodic rap] Three a.m., I'm back on the road Windows down, nowhere to go Streetlights running over my face I've spent too long trying to find my place Everybody wants a perfect life Perfect love and a perfect time I tried that once, couldn't make it fit Maybe I'm better in the middle of it Messy nights and unfinished plans Cheap champagne in expensive hands Friends I lost and dreams I kept Promises made that I never forget I don't know where tomorrow leads But tonight I've got everything I need Your hand in mine, city underneath— And we're too alive to sleep. [Pre-Chorus, female soul vocal] Turn it up Let it breathe Tonight there's nothing We have to be If morning comes Let morning wait We're already wide awake. [Chorus, female pop vocal] WE'RE TOO ALIVE TO SLEEP TONIGHT TOO YOUNG TO WATCH THE WORLD GO BY HEARTS ON FIRE CITY LIGHTS IF WE GET LOST WE'LL BE ALRIGHT WE'RE TOO ALIVE TO SLEEP TONIGHT NO DESTINATION, JUST DRIVE IF TOMORROW WAITS ON THE OTHER SIDE— LET IT WAIT. WE'RE ALIVE. [Build-Up] [Filtered Piano Chords] [Electronic Pulse] [Bass Rising] [Snare Build] [DROP, Instrumental, No Vocals] [Heavy Bass House Groove] [Distorted Synth Bass] [Future Rave Lead] [Four-On-The-Floor Kick] [Cinematic Brass Stabs] [No Vocal Chops] [Verse 2, male rap, stronger flow] Look— I used to think I needed more Another number, another door Another reason to prove I'm enough Funny how winning can still feel rough Now I want moments money can't buy Empty highway underneath pink skies Someone beside me who knows my worst And still doesn't leave when the whole thing hurts So take that picture, don't make me pose Real life never looks that composed Coffee at sunrise, shoes on the dash We don't need forever to make something last Let everybody else chase sleep I've got memories I wanna keep One night can turn into history— When you're too alive to sleep. [Pre-Chorus, female vocal + harmonies] Turn it up Let it breathe Tonight there's nothing We have to be If morning comes Let morning wait We're already wide awake. [Chorus] WE'RE TOO ALIVE TO SLEEP TONIGHT TOO YOUNG TO WATCH THE WORLD GO BY HEARTS ON FIRE CITY LIGHTS IF WE GET LOST WE'LL BE ALRIGHT WE'RE TOO ALIVE TO SLEEP TONIGHT NO DESTINATION, JUST DRIVE IF TOMORROW WAITS ON THE OTHER SIDE— LET IT WAIT. WE'RE ALIVE. [Breakdown, cinematic soul] [Grand Piano] [Warm Soul Harmonies] [Deep Sub Pulse] [Female vocal, intimate] One day we'll miss this. Not the clubs. Not the lights. We'll miss being young enough to believe one night could change everything. [Male vocal] Maybe it can. [Beat Cut] [Build-Up] [Soul Choir Rising] [Future Rave Arpeggio] [Orchestral Percussion] [Sub Bass Rising] [FINAL DROP, Instrumental, No Vocals] [No Vocal Chops] [Massive Bass House Bassline] [Euphoric Future Rave Synth] [Powerful Club Kick] [Orchestral Brass] [Grand Piano Chords] [Cinematic Percussion] [Final Chorus, female lead + male harmonies] WE'RE TOO ALIVE TO SLEEP TONIGHT TOO FAR GONE TO WASTE THIS LIFE LET THE SUN FIND US OUTSIDE WITH TIRED EYES AND HEARTS ON FIRE WE'RE TOO ALIVE TO SLEEP TONIGHT SO TAKE MY HAND AND JUST DRIVE WE DON'T NEED TO KNOW WHERE THIS ROAD WILL LEAD— WE'RE HERE. WE'RE FREE. WE'RE TOO ALIVE TO SLEEP. [Outro, piano] Sun's coming up. Good. We made it.
