We Come Alive - The Wave Pictures

There were roman candles and Catherine wheels outside

Inside, all was deadly quiet

Corner cut, medium weight and I arrive late

I caught you spelling baby names with sparklers on your patio

And you didn’t know, that I’d been writing letters to other girls

In shaky, shaky handwriting

We swooned like 50's housewives

Buzzing like a hive

The room is spinning faster than a 45

And we come alive

We come alive

We come alive

Well you were an octopus and I was an orang-utan

And everybody in there saw the way that we carried on

But everyone who knows me, knows I make up all these stories

We swooned like 50's housewives

Buzzing like a hive

The room is spinning faster than a 45

And we come alive

We come alive

We come alive

We come alive

We come alive

We come alive
