Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You turn me on, you lift me up
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 follow
[Verse 2]
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?
[Verse 3]
Who's 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?
[Verse 4]
Alive and kicking
Stay until your love is, Los Angeles
(Alive and kicking)
Stay until your love is, until your love is alive
[Verse 5]
Oh, you lift me up to the crucial top
I can see
You lead me on till the feelin's come
And the lights that shine on
[Verse 6]
But if that don't mean nothing, if someday
It could fall through
You'll take me home where the magic's from
And I'll be
[Verse 7]
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?
[Verse 8]
Who's 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?
[Verse 9]
Ooh, oh, whoa, alive and kicking
Stay until your love is, love is
Alive and kicking
Ooh, oh, whoa, alive and kicking
Stay until your love is, love is
Alive and kicking
[Verse 10]
Ooh, oh
Alive and kicking
Stay until your love is
Alive and kicking
[Verse 11]
Stay until your love is, yeah
Alive and kicking
Stay until your love is, yeah
Alive and kicking
