Lyrics
Listen up I was out with you and back at midnight
Out with someone until midnight, suggesting secrecy or discretion.
It's better if they don't know the truth
Suggesting that hiding the truth is preferable in certain situations.
So won't you be my be my alibi
Asking the listener to provide an alibi, reinforcing the theme of secrecy.
Repeat it back again and again until it feels right
Emphasizing the repetition of the alibi until it becomes convincing.
I know that lying's not what you do
Acknowledging that lying is not the listener's usual behavior.
But you know I'd do the same for you
Expressing a willingness to reciprocate the act of providing an alibi.
Now we're feeling like criminals
Describing a sense of guilt or wrongdoing.
Wouldn't it be everything
Contemplating the potential consequences of the actions.
Tearing up the night with me
Immersed in a night of intense experiences and emotions.
And we're feeling like we've never been alive
Feeling a heightened sense of existence, possibly due to risky behavior.
We'll get away with anything
Confidence in escaping consequences for actions.
I want you going down with me
Expressing a desire for the listener to share in the consequences.
And we're feeling like we've never been alive
Reiterating the intense feelings of being alive in the moment.
So won't you be my be my alibi
Repeating the request for the listener to be an alibi.
We took a drive to another life until my car died
Narrating a journey to another place until encountering a problem.
You swung your legs over top of me
Describing a physical interaction and intense emotions.
You got me screaming on the inside
Internal turmoil or distress despite external composure.
A little time and a couple shots it started up fine
Overcoming obstacles with time and substance.
I hope you know that I'd die for you
Expressing a willingness to make sacrifices for the listener.
Now we're feeling like criminals
Repeating the sense of guilt or wrongdoing.
Wouldn't it be everything
Reflecting on the potential consequences of actions.
Tearing up the night with me
Participating in risky and intense activities together.
And we're feeling like we've never been alive
Reiterating the heightened sense of existence.
We'll get away with anything
Confidence in escaping consequences, echoing earlier lines.
I want you going down with me
Desiring the listener to share in the consequences, echoing earlier lines.
And we're feeling like we've never been alive
Repeating the intense feelings of being alive in the moment.
So won't you be my be my alibi
Reiterating the request for the listener to be an alibi.
You pointed out the abandoned house where your dad died
Sharing a personal and potentially traumatic experience.
You never said what he did to you I know it ain't right
Highlighting a past trauma without revealing details.
You took a drag, grabbed the gasoline and went inside
Describing a destructive act, possibly as a form of coping or release.
You watched it burn to the ground
Observing the consequences of the destructive act.
The siren's getting loud
The intensification of the situation, possibly involving authorities.
I gotta get you out
The urgency of removing the listener from the dangerous situation.
We gotta go
The immediate need to escape or flee.
Wouldn't it be everything
Reflecting on the potential consequences of actions, echoing earlier lines.
Tearing up the night with me
Continuing the theme of engaging in intense and risky activities.
And we're feeling like we've never been alive
Reiterating the heightened sense of existence, echoing earlier lines.
We'll get away with anything
Confidence in escaping consequences, echoing earlier lines.
I want you going down with me
Desiring the listener to share in the consequences, echoing earlier lines.
And we're feeling like we've never been alive
Repeating the intense feelings of being alive in the moment.
So won't you be my be my alibi
Reiterating the request for the listener to be an alibi, echoing earlier lines.
So won't you be my be my alibi
Repeating the plea for the listener to be an alibi, emphasizing urgency.
So won't you be my be my alibi
