If you have too much going on in your life, you are going to feel this song. You’re going to feel it regardless, as Jessica Leia picks up her acoustic guitar and performs her solo version of “Come Alive” - an upbeat tune reminiscent of 1960’s pop meets R&B. Listen to this anthem of a song, as she tells a tale of a busy-ness we all know so well and as she reminds us to just “leave the messes”. Which is ironic, of course, because this is EXACTLY the kind of song you want to dance and sing to while you’re cleaning the house on Sunday!
lyrics
Verse 1
Run, run, run
Such a busy one
So much goin’ on
And nothin’ gettin’ done
Verse 2
Going numb
And so tired of
Always wasting love
Pre-chorus
When I only want to give it and live it and taste it and breathe it.
Want to come alive.
Verse 3
They say it’s tough.
But don’t I work hard enough?
And I do it all for love.
Pre-chorus
‘Cause I only want to give it and live it and taste it and breathe it.
Want to come alive.
Chorus
Forget the messes! Stop the presses!
You know we should just try to find a way, to make life feel good.
Leave it alone, honey! Hold the phone suga!
whoo – hoo – hoo
We got too much goin’ on.
Verse 4
Get me off
Of this tilt-o-whirl
There’s an entire world
Pre-chorus
And I only want to give it and live it and taste it and breathe it.
Want to come alive.
Chorus
Forget the messes! Stop the presses!
You know we should just try to find a way, to make life feel good.
Leave it alone, honey! Hold the phone suga!
whoo – hoo – hoo
We got too much goin’ on.
