[Verse 1] Seventeen trying to be a hero Pulled up her skirt in the mirror Hop in the back turn the corner It was too dark to see the water Lying down in the backroom All of the lines that shes used to All of the rides that shes used to [Chorus] It was alive but it used you It was alive but it used you It was alive but it never used to There was a time when you knew So show me a sign if its you Show me a sign if its you [Verse 2] You could stay i could come and find you where you are Whenever you play you always go too far To the river to the edge of the water Lights turned off in the back of the car Water in the street, rain in your eye I could see the tear but i never heard your cry They see you turning know Their words always let you down [Chorus] It was alive but it used you There was a time when you knew Show me a sign if its you Show me a sign if its you Show me a sign if its you It was alive in you It was alive in you
