Where You Felt Alive

[Verse 1]
You freeze on the corner
Sirens slice the quiet air
Red flashing on the brickwork
You just stand there
Caught in the glare

Tail lights fade like a dream
Breath held tight in your chest
That old itch in your fingers
Like you should be on that call

[Chorus]
You miss the red glow in the rearview
Miss the rush when they called your name
Miss the speed
Miss the sudden stillness
When the chaos knew your face
You were the calm inside the crash
Hands that held a stranger’s fate
You miss the adrenalin rush
And how your heartbeat found its place

[Verse 2]
You still see every wound you patched
Feel every beat of a heart you restored
Every story on the TV
Feels like one you've seen before 

You remember every wrong turn
Every door you ran in first
Every time you left your fear
On the pavement with the dirt

[Chorus]
You miss the red glow in the rearview
Miss the rush when they called your name
Miss the speed
Miss the sudden stillness
When the chaos knew your face
You were the calm inside the crash
Hands that held a stranger’s fate
You miss being the one people turned to
And how your heartbeat always found its place

[Bridge]
Now it’s quiet and it’s tidy
Bills and emails
Grocery lines
But one passing wail in the distance
And you’re back there
Crossing that line (oh)

[Chorus]
You miss the red glow in the darkness
Miss the rush when they called your name
Miss the weight of every second
As the world leaned on you for help
You were the calm inside the crash
You were the voice inside the haze
You miss the red glow in the rearview
’Cause that’s where you felt alive
