Lyrics for "Get Out Alive" by Mark Ballas

"Get Out Alive" by Mark Ballas
from the "Waiting for Patience" EP, 2010

She's sixteen playing playin' with the thought of leavin'
this web that they've been weavin' all her life
it's time to break the ties

so tired of living in a prison
'cause this road that she's been given
is open wide
it's time to take the ride

Move
I said you gotta get out of here alive
tonight
and you don't ever look back baby
Move
I said you gotta get out of here in time
to make it all right
you gotta make that move girl

She's seventeen feeling so lost and lonely
that life is killin' her slowly
so say goodbye to the girl that trapped inside

we can't stop, gettin' older
lift that weight up off your shoulders
baby soon it'll all be over
give it time

Move
I said you gotta get out of here alive
tonight
and you don't ever look back baby
Move
I said you gotta get out of here in time
to make it all right
you gotta make that move girl

I know it's hard when you're feeling
like you're all alone
and I know it hurts when no one understands at all
don't stop or stall, no

you better move
I said you gotta get out of here alive
tonight
and you don't ever look back baby
Move
I said you gotta get out of here in time
to make it all right

you better move
I said you gotta get out of here alive
tonight
and you don't ever look back baby
Move
I said you gotta get out of here in time
to make it all right

make that move
