[Verse 1]
Sometimes, you wonder if we're ever looking back
At a picture of 2019
And saying, "That's the way, the world, it used to be
Before our dreams started bursting at the seams"
[Pre-Chorus]
We're out here and we're ready, we're here and we're ready
To livestream the apocalypse
I don't care if it's pretty, the view's so pretty
From the deck of a sinking ship, yeah, oh
'Cause everything is lit except my serotonin, yeah
Everything is lit, but my lightning bolt brain
Everything is lit
[Chorus]
But, baby, please, I just need someone to hold me
Even though you don't even know me
Oh, I'm going neon in the night-time
Oh, what a time to be alive
[Post-Chorus]
What a time to be alive
What a time to be alive
What a time to be alive
[Verse 2]
They say that I should try meditation
But I don't want to be with my own thoughts
It never felt that much like medication
And I just want to be your cherry on top
[Pre-Chorus]
We're out here and we're ready, we're here and we're ready
To livestream the apocalypse
And I'm going on and on and on
Make me like a charm on your necklace, oh, your necklace
Oh, 'cause everything is lit except my serotonin, yeah
Everything is lit, but my lightning bolt brain
Everything is lit
[Chorus]
But, baby, please, I just need someone to hold me (Someone to hold me, yeah)
Even though you don't even know me
Oh, I'm going neon in the night-time
Oh, what a time to be alive
[Post-Chorus]
What a time to be alive
What a time to be alive
What a time to be alive
[Bridge]
What a time to be alive, to be alive
[Chorus]
When, when, when I said, "Leave me alone", this isn't quite what I meant
I got the quarantine blues, bad news, what's left?
So, it seems the vulture's getting too full to fly, oh
What a time to be alive
[Post-Chorus]
What a time to be alive
What a time to be alive
What a time to be alive
[Outro]
What a time to be alive (What a time, what a time to be alive)
What a time to be alive (What a time, what a time to be alive)
What a time to be alive (What a time, what a time to be alive)
What a time to be alive
Sometimes you wonder if we're ever looking back
