When We Come Alive

"When We Come Alive" is the third track on Switchfoot's ninth album, Fading West.

Lyrics
The sun goes down like a photograph You try to stop time in the aftermath But it’s gone, gone

Yesterday reads like a tragedy I try not to lose what’s left of me But it’s gone Yeah, but we carry on

We are fire Burning brightly You and I

We light the sky When we ignite When we come alive When we come alive

It feels like I could get lost today The winds in my mind get swept away And I’m gone, gone

And it’s one last time to the wishing well I throw down the change and I wish them well But they’re gone Yeah, but we’ll carry on

We are our souls on fire We are reaching higher We are our souls on fire When we come alive When we come alive

We are fire You and I

Strength, heart, soul, mind
