Lyrics

You turn me on,
You lift me up,
And like the sweetest cup I’d share with you.
You lift me up,
Don’t you ever stop – I’m here with you.
Now it’s all or nothing,
‘Cause you say you’ll follow through.
You follow me,
And I, I, I follow you.

What you gonna do when things go wrong?
What you gonna do when it all cracks up?
What you gonna do when the love burns down?
What you gonna do when the flames go up?
Who is gonna come and turn the tide?
What’s it gonna take to make a dream survive?
Who’s got the touch to calm the storm inside?
Who’s gonna save you?

Alive and kicking.
Stay until your love is,
Alive and kicking.
Stay until your love is,
Until your love is,
Alive.

You lift me up to the crucial top – so I can see.
You lead me on till the feelings come and the lights that shine on.
But if that don’t mean nothing,
Like if someday it should fall through.
You’ll take me home, where the magic’s from,
And I’ll be with you.

What you gonna do when things go wrong?
What you gonna do when it all cracks up?
What you gonna do when your love burns down?
What you gonna do when the flames go up?
Who is gonna come and turn the tide?
What’s it gonna take to make a dream survive?
Who’s got the touch to calm the storm inside?
Don’t say goodbye.
Don’t say goodbye.
In the final seconds who’s gonna save you?

Alive and kicking.
Stay until your love is – love is alive and kicking.
Alive and kicking.
Stay until your love is – love is alive and kicking.
